Chance stimulus sequences for discrimination tasks.
Sequences of positions for the placing of the positive stimulus in a 2-choice visual discrimination task as constructed by Gellerman are examined by means of a hypothesis-analysis technique and are found to be unsatisfactory on 2 counts: (a) They fail to ensure that no position hypothesis will produce other than chance performance on the learning curve, and (b) they fail to prevent the differen...
متن کاملStimulus Equivalencies Through Discrimination Reversals
The sensory systems of advanced animals frequently input more stimulus infonna-tion into the nervous system than the motor system can possibly output as behavior patterns. This bottleneck demands a drastic infonnation reduction. Two types of reduction can be distinguished: selective attention involving behavioral context-dependent infonnation censoring (as when during sexual behavior food stimu...
متن کاملStimulus uncertainty affects velocity discrimination
Velocity discrimination thresholds were determined for 1 c/deg drifting gratings when uncertainty about the reference velocity was introduced by interleaving stimuli with different reference velocities from trial to trial. When drifting gratings with reference velocities spanning 4 octaves (1-16 deg/sec) were mixed randomly within a series of trials, the velocity discrimination threshold for a ...
متن کاملAutomatic Word Sense Discrimination
This paper presents context-group discrimination, a disambiguation algorithm based on clustering. Senses are interpreted as groups (or clusters) of similar contexts of the ambiguous word. Words, contexts, and senses are represented in Word Space, a high-dimensional, real-valued space in which closeness corresponds to semantic similarity. Similarity in Word Space is based on second-order co-occu...
متن کاملDiscrimination learning with variable stimulus 'salience'
BACKGROUND In nature, sensory stimuli are organized in heterogeneous combinations. Salient items from these combinations 'stand-out' from their surroundings and determine what and how we learn. Yet, the relationship between varying stimulus salience and discrimination learning remains unclear. PRESENTATION OF THE HYPOTHESIS A rigorous formulation of the problem of discrimination learning shou...
