KembaraXtra-Psychology - autological
Autological describes an adjective that applies to itself, such as short (a short word), English (an English word), or polysyllabic (a polysyllabic word). It links with Grelling’s paradox and is contrasted with heterological.

KembaraXtra-Psychology - automatic processing
Automatic processing is involuntary, non-conscious information processing seen in highly practiced activities such as seeing, reading, cycling, playing games, or driving. Compared with controlled processing, it is faster, requires less effort, is more resistant to fatigue and alcohol, and can support more parallel processing across sensory channels; however, it takes much longer practice to develop, and once established it is harder to control. The Stroop effect vividly illustrates it. It is also called automaticity, preconscious processing, or pre-attentive processing, and connects with many related ideas including mindlessness, top-down processing, and the principle of least effort.

KembaraXtra-Psychology - automorphic perception
Automorphic perception is a tendency to perceive other people as physically more similar to oneself than they really are; Modigliani’s repeated depiction of elongated faces resembling his own has been cited as an artistic example. It relates to egocentrism and the false-consensus effect.

KembaraXtra-Psychology - autonoetic
Autonoetic means “self-knowing” and is used for the kind of consciousness tied to personally experienced events. Endel Tulving (born 1927) argued in 1985 that not all knowledge is autonoetic because a person may know facts about an event (when/where it happened) without having the subjective re-experiencing characteristic of episodic memory; knowing one’s birth facts without remembering birth is a common example. Autonoetic consciousness therefore involves mental time travel and subjective re-living.
