LOCK is a function that locks part of a keyboard's keys into a distinct mode of operation, depending on the lock settings selected.[1]

Description [ edit ]

Most keyboards have three different types of lock functions:

Number Lock – Num Lock . Allows the user to type numbers by pressing the keys on the number pad, rather than having them act as up, down, left, right, page up, end, and so forth. Usually located in the upper left corner of the number pad. . Allows the user to type numbers by pressing the keys on the number pad, rather than having them act as up, down, left, right, page up, end, and so forth. Usually located in the upper left corner of the number pad. Capital Lock – Caps Lock . When enabled, letters the user types will be in uppercase by default rather than lowercase. Located at left end of the keyboard, above the left shift key. Also while Caps Lock is engaged, typically the shift key instead adjusts the now-capital letter keys to type in lowercase. . When enabled, letters the user types will be in uppercase by default rather than lowercase. Located at left end of the keyboard, above the left shift key. Also while Caps Lock is engaged, typically the shift key instead adjusts the now-capital letter keys to type in lowercase. Scrolling Lock – Scroll Lock. In some applications, such as spreadsheets, the lock mode is used to change the behavior of the cursor keys to scroll the document instead of the cursor. Usually located to the right of the function keys. Some laptops and compact keyboards also have a Function Lock - FN Lock. On these devices, a Fn modifier key is used to combine keys to save room and add non-standard functionality; a common use is merging the row with keys F1- F12 with keys that adjust settings such as display brightness, media volume and playback, and keyboard illumination. Fn Lock toggles the default output of these keys.

Location [ edit ]

The lock keys are scattered around the keyboard. Most styles of keyboards have three LEDs indicating which locks are enabled, in the upper right corner above the numpad. Some ergonomic keyboards instead place the lock indicators in between the key split. Some brands of keyboards have a function mode key (also called F mode or Office Lock), and may replace the scroll lock indicator with an office lock indicator. Office Lock, when enabled, will enable alternate functions of the function keys, meant for use with various word processing or email programs.

What is memory paradox?

This 'memory paradox' — that the absence of memory or the inability to recall memories properly in an emotional context leads to dysfunction, but that memories that generate too much emotion can also be disabling — was the subject of the Neuroscience & Cognition Dialogue between Richard Morris and Rachel Yehuda held ...

nature.com - The memory paradox | Nature Reviews Neuroscience

The formation, persistence and loss of memories present something of a paradox. On the one hand, the ability to form and later recall memories is vital for coping with the challenges of life. In both animals and humans, successfully 'remembering' important aspects of arousing situations may ensure a quicker and more appropriate response when an organism faces similar conditions in the future. The centrality of memory to human experience is poignantly illustrated by the consequences of its loss in the phenomenon of amnesia. The famous case of patient H.M.1, who had sustained and irreparable damage to the hippocampus, highlighted the importance of the hippocampus and related brain structures in the formation of new memories about experienced events (episodic or autobiographical), but also demonstrated that loss of memory can render individuals severely disabled. The loss of emotional memory can also be highly impairing, as evidenced by the severe social and emotional deficits experienced following lesions of the amygdala2. Clearly, declarative and emotional memories are key to quality of life and day-to-day functioning.
