Question

I have a Computer Archtecture book and notes that describe addressing modes. Specifically those pertaning to MIPS Assembler. I know there are 5 modes MIPS supports but when I look at the book I see some named differently to what I see in the notes. As someone learning I need help understanding which are the same.

The modes I am being told about are: 1) Immediate, 2) Register, 3) Base or displacement, 4) PC-relative, 5) Pseudodirect, 6) Register Indirect, and 7) Direct

Please explain which of the modes are the same but differntly named. Thanks
