AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Shared memory parallel computers use multiple processors to access the same memory resources. Examples of shared memory parallel architecture are modern laptops, desktops, and smartphones. Distributed memory parallel computers use multiple processors, each with their own memory, connected over a network.

Detailed explanation-2: -In parallel processing, we take in multiple different forms of information at the same time. This is especially important in vision. For example, when you see a bus coming towards you, you see its color, shape, depth, and motion all at once.

Detailed explanation-3: -These challenges include: finding and expressing concurrency, managing data distributions, managing inter-processor communication, balancing the computational load, and simply implementing the parallel algorithm correctly. This section considers each of these challenges in turn.

Detailed explanation-4: -In psychology, parallel processing is the ability of the brain to simultaneously process incoming stimuli of differing quality. Parallel processing is associated with the visual system in that the brain divides what it sees into four components: color, motion, shape, and depth.
