1. 移位：可以将指令存入记忆部门内,并有加、减、乘、除、移位(Shifting)、分支(Branching)等三十二种指令. 之后更研究出利用磁蕊(Magnetic core)作为内部记忆之用;用磁带与磁鼓作输入输出的用途. 通常真空管制成的电脑称为第一代电脑,

2. 转移：理睬的目的是要建构一个连贯的生理表征或结构,包孕奠基(laying a foundation),映射(mapping),转移(shifting)3个历程. 首先,操作最初输入的信息建构一个基本结构,即奠基. 其次,当新输入信息与原结构较为同等时,就把新信息映射到该结构上,

3. 转换：抑制机制的效率解释了理解技巧的个体差异.语言理解能力较差的人不能抑制不相关信息,是因为他的抑制机制的效率低下,导致在建构结构中更为频繁的转换(shifting)并且建构更小的、更不连贯的表征结构.本文根据他们的理论,

1. 不断移动的;流动的
    Shifting is used to describe something which is made up of parts that are continuously moving and changing position in relation to other parts.

    e.g. ...the shifting sand beneath their feet...
           他们脚下的流沙
    e.g. The Croatian town of Ilok is a classic case of shifting populations.
           伊洛卡的克罗地亚小镇就是人口不停流动的典型例子。
