Cue

From WikiMD's medical encyclopedia

Cue may refer to a variety of concepts in different fields, including theatre, psychology, sports, and computing. The term generally refers to a signal or prompt that triggers a response or action.

Theatre

In theatre, a cue is a signal for an action to be carried out at a specific time. It is typically given by the stage manager to actors, musicians, or technical crew. Cues can be verbal, visual, or aural and are crucial for the smooth running of a performance.

Psychology

In psychology, a cue is a type of stimulus that guides behavior. Cues can be external, such as visual or auditory signals, or internal, such as thoughts or feelings. They play a key role in behavioral psychology and cognitive psychology, particularly in the study of learning and memory.

Sports

In sports, a cue can refer to a piece of equipment or a prompt for action. For example, in billiards, a cue is a long, tapered rod used to strike the balls. In coaching, cues are often used to guide athletes' movements or tactics.

Computing

In computing, a cue can refer to a command or signal that initiates a specific function or process. For example, in programming, a cue might trigger a particular sequence of code. In user interface design, visual or auditory cues can guide user interaction.
