Shaping Relational Category-Learning With Visuospatial Priming
While relational reasoning has been described as a process at the heart of human cognition, the degree to which relational representations can be primed remains an open debate. This paper will present a category-learning experiment that shows that the learning of spatial relations (above and below) can be primed using a subtle visuospatial stimulus that may capture exogenous attention to produc...
متن کاملThe No-Signalling Theorems: A Nitpicking Distinction
Shortly before his untimely death, John Stewart Bell remarked that his famous theorem tells us “that maybe there must be something happening faster than light, although it pains me even to say that much” [emphasis added] [14, p. 90]. Bell’s reaction to his own momentous discovery is puzzling: why should it have pained him or anyone else? Should we not be excited and fascinated by the possibilit...
متن کاملModeling Relational Priming and Multiplicative Reasoning with Rational Numbers
Previous research on multiplicative reasoning has shown that for whole numbers, understanding of division is intimately linked to multiplication, as retrieval of division facts is often accomplished through reverse multiplication. We recently extended this research to rational numbers, and found that inverse multiplication problems can serve as primes for one another (e.g., a × b/a = a primes b...
متن کاملPositional priming of pop-out: a relational-encoding account.
Three experiments examined whether positional priming of pop-out is modulated by target salience. In Experiment 1, the singleton target appeared among variable numbers of distractors (2, 3, 5, 7; blocked presentation). While facilitation of target locations was not influenced by distractor number, inhibition of distractor locations was evident only with two distractors in the display. In Experi...
متن کاملShaping relations: Exploiting relational features for visuospatial priming.
Although relational reasoning has been described as a process at the heart of human cognition, the exact character of relational representations remains an open debate. Symbolic-connectionist models of relational cognition suggest that relations are structured representations, but that they are ultimately grounded in feature sets; thus, they predict that activating those features can affect the...
