Examples of matrix in the following topics:

  • Introduction to Memory Storage

    • These vectors are then added into the memory array or matrix (a list of vectors).
    • In order to retrieve the memory for the recall process, one must cue the memory matrix with a specific probe.
    • The memory matrix is constantly growing, with new traces being added in.
    • The multi-trace model has two key limitations: the notion of an ever-growing matrix within human memory sounds implausible, and the idea of computational searches for specific memories among millions of traces that would be present within the memory matrix sounds far beyond the scope of the human-recalling process.
    • Another type of memory storage, the semantic matrix, is used to explain the semantic effect associated with memory recall.

  • Gender as a Spectrum and Transgender Identities

    • The gender continuum (sometimes referred to as the gender matrix) is an extension of this gender spectrum that includes additional gender identities.

  • IQ Tests

    • Performance IQ is measured through perception and processing skills, such as matrix completion and symbol coding.
