Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 DEF
a procedure for discovering a person's characteristic modes of behavior(his attitudes, motivations, or dynamic traits) by observing his behavior in response to a situation that does not elicit or compel a particular response-i. e., to a relatively unstructured, ambiguous, or vague situation. Thus a child's response to an empty sheet of paper and colored crayons may reveal his emotional mood or his more enduring sentiments.... If the situation is a standard one, projective tests are spoken of. 3, record 2, English, - projective%20technique

impulsion [...] C'est un signal extrêmement bref et d'amplitude élevée. La réponse en impulsion, encore appelée réponse impulsionnelle ou percussionnelle, caractérise les enceintes acoustiques comme tous les systèmes dynamiques fonctionnant en régime linéaire (sans distorsion). Elle permet en particulier de déduire : - les courbes de réponse (niveau et phase) en fonction de la fréquence - les temps de propagation des différentes composantes spectrales du signal d'entrée, encore appelés temps de propagation de groupe -les réponses à tous les signaux d'entrée, transitoires ou non. 2, record 4, French, - r%C3%A9ponse%20impulsionnelle

Predictable, or tame, attractors correspond to the behavior to which a system settles down or is "attracted". A strange attractor is represented by an unpredictable trajectory where a minute difference in starting positions of two initially adjacent points leads to totally uncorrelated positions later in time or in the mathematical iteration. 3, record 5, English, - attractor
Record number: 5, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Recursion relations are also used to construct fractal attractors characteristic of chaotic motion. As a simple example we briefly mention dynamic systems that period double on their way to chaos... However the set invariant with regard to(2. 19) is a repeller(not an attractor). It can be shown that the attractor forms approximately a non-uniform Cantor set. 4, record 5, English, - attractor
