Face recognition and cortical responses show similar sensitivity to noise spatial frequency.
To find cortical correlates of face recognition, we manipulated the recognizability of face images in a parametric manner by masking them with narrow-band spatial noise. Face recognition performance was best at the lowest and highest noise spatial frequencies (NSFs, 2 and 45 c/image, respectively), and degraded gradually towards central NSFs (11-16 c/image). The strength of the 130-180 ms neuro...
متن کاملNumerical Rule-Learning in Ring-Tailed Lemurs (Lemur Catta)
We investigated numerical discrimination and numerical rule-learning in ring-tailed lemurs (Lemur catta). Two ring-tailed lemurs were trained to respond to two visual arrays, each of which contained between one and four elements, in numerically ascending order. In Experiment 1, lemurs were trained with 36 exemplars of each of the numerosities 1-4 and then showed positive transfer to trial-uniqu...
متن کاملHumans and Macaques Employ Similar Face-Processing Strategies
Primates developed the ability to recognize and individuate their conspecifics by the face. Despite numerous electrophysiological studies in monkeys, little is known about the face-processing strategies that monkeys employ. In contrast, face perception in humans has been the subject of many studies providing evidence for specific face processing that evolves with perceptual expertise. Important...
متن کاملPea Plants Show Risk Sensitivity
Sensitivity to variability in resources has been documented in humans, primates, birds, and social insects, but the fit between empirical results and the predictions of risk sensitivity theory (RST), which aims to explain this sensitivity in adaptive terms, is weak [1]. RST predicts that agents should switch between risk proneness and risk aversion depending on state and circumstances, especial...

monumental changes occurring on a daily basis have altered the world into a global village of expanding technology and shrinking geography in which preparing language learners for intercultural communication seems to be a sine qua non for modern language education. employing a cross-sectional design in its first phase, this study investigated the intercultural sensitivity and language proficien...
