Statistical learning bias predicts second-language reading efficiency
Statistical learning (SL) is increasingly invoked as a set of general-purpose mechanisms upon which language learning is built during infancy and childhood. Here we investigated the extent to which SL is related to adult language processing. In particular, we asked whether SL proclivities towards relations that are more informative of English are related to efficiency in reading English sentenc...
متن کاملAn exponential filter model predicts lightness illusions
Lightness, or perceived reflectance of a surface, is influenced by surrounding context. This is demonstrated by the Simultaneous Contrast Illusion (SCI), where a gray patch is perceived lighter against a black background and vice versa. Conversely, assimilation is where the lightness of the target patch moves toward that of the bounding areas and can be demonstrated in White's effect. Blakeslee...
متن کاملUncertainty in visual processes predicts geometrical optical illusions
It is proposed in this paper that many geometrical optical illusions, as well as illusory patterns due to motion signals in line drawings, are due to the statistics of visual computations. The interpretation of image patterns is preceded by a step where image features such as lines, intersections of lines, or local image movement must be derived. However, there are many sources of noise or unce...
متن کاملBias in Visual Motion Processes: A Theory Predicting Illusions
The first step in the interpretation of video sequences is the estimation of spatio-temporal image representations, that is the image motion or the correspondence of points or lines. Noise in the data, however, causes a serious problem for their estimation; in particular, it causes bias. As a result the location of image points, the orientation of image lines and the length and orientation of i...
متن کاملAppendix : Machine Learning Bias Versus Statistical Bias
is if and 0 if. This high variance may help to explain why there is selection pressure for weak (machine learning) bias when the (machine learning) bias correctness is low. The reason that statisticians are interested in (statistical) bias and variance is that squared error is equal to the sum of squared (statistical) bias and variance. Therefore minimal (statistical) bias and minimal variance ...
