In the psychology context, a perceiver refers to an individual who is receiving and interpreting sensory information from the environment. The term is often used in discussions about perception, social cognition, and the processes by which people interpret and make sense of the world around them. A perceiver is not a passive recipient of information but actively processes stimuli based on their prior experiences, expectations, and cognitive frameworks.
Percent savings is defined as a composite dependent variable in which the number of trials to re-learn a task is subtracted from the number of trials required to originally learn the task, divided by the number of trials needed to originally learn, and multiplied by 100 to determine the percentage of trials saved by having learned the task previously.
Percentile band is defined as the range of percentiles that are likely to represent a subject's true score. Percentile band is created by forming an interval one standard error of measurement above and below the obtained score and converting the resulting values to percentiles. Moreover, Percentile bands are range of percentile ranks in which a pupil/student is expected to fall on repeated testin. It is a way to indicate the error in scores to avoid over-interpretation of results.
