In psychology, the concept of a **bottleneck** refers to a critical limitation in cognitive processing that restricts the flow of information, leading to performance degradation or inefficiency. This metaphor, borrowed from systems engineering, highlights how human cognition operates under constraints, particularly in attention, memory, or decision-making. Unlike physical bottlenecks, psychological bottlenecks are dynamic and context-dependent, often emerging under conditions of high cognitive load or stress.
Other /More definition:
Bottom-up processing refers to the act of basing judgments on data rather than on inference.
A Boundary refers to a verbal communication that sets limits on what we accept or tolerate from others. That includes how others treat us "how they speak to us", what we'll give to them or what we'll accept from them. Boundaries are lines that draw and define ourselves. Boundaries teach others how to treat us.
