SEEV model

SEEV model is a theoretical framework used to describe how humans allocate visual attention in environments where they need to scan and process information, particularly in complex and dynamic settings. The acronym SEEV stands for Salience, Effort, Expectancy, and Value, which are the four key factors that influence where and how individuals direct their visual attention.

Stagflation

Stagflation is an economic condition characterized by the simultaneous occurrence of stagnant economic growth, high unemployment, and rising inflation. This unusual combination is challenging because traditional economic policies that address inflation, like raising interest rates, can further slow down economic growth and increase unemployment. Stagflation typically occurs when an economy faces supply shocks, such as sudden increases in oil prices, which drive up costs and prices while reducing overall economic activity.

Syntax

Syntax refers to the set of rules that govern the structure of sentences in a language, dictating how words and phrases should be arranged to convey meaning correctly. It is a crucial aspect of grammar that helps ensure clarity and coherence in communication. In linguistics, syntax studies how different elements like nouns, verbs, and adjectives combine to form sentences, and how these structures vary across different languages.
