A Dynamical Model of Priming and Repetition Blindness
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a model of visual word recognition that accounts for several aspects of the temporal processing of sequences of briefly presented words. The model utilizes a new representation for written words, based on dynamic time warping and multidimensional scaling. The visual input passes through cascaded perceptual, comparison, and detection stages. We describe how these dynamical processes can account for several aspects of word recognition, including repetition priming and repetition blindness.

Repetition blindness: an emergent property of inter-item competition.
Repeating an item in a brief or rapid display usually produces faster or more accurate identification of the item (repetition priming), but sometimes produces the opposite effect (repetition blindness). We present a theory of short-term repetition effects, the competition hypothesis, which explains these paradoxical outcomes. The central tenet of the theory is that repetition produces a represe...
متن کاملImmediate priming and cognitive aftereffects.
Three forced-choice perceptual word identification experiments tested the claim that transitions from positive to negative priming as a function of increasing prime duration are due to cognitive aftereffects. These aftereffects are similar in nature to perceptual aftereffects that produce a negative image due to overexposure and habituation to a stimulus. Each experiment tested critical predict...
متن کاملTheoretical and computational analysis of skill learning, repetition priming, and procedural memory.
This article analyzes the relationship between skill learning and repetition priming, 2 implicit memory phenomena. A number of reports have suggested that skill learning and repetition priming can be dissociated from each other and are therefore based on different mechanisms. The authors present a theoretical analysis showing that previous results cannot be regarded as evidence of a processing ...
متن کاملA Neurobiologically Inspired Model of Repetition Blindness
We describe a model of repetition blindness which draws on the dichotomous division of the visual system into two subsystems which process identity and location information. The model is constructed from self-organising networks of spiking neurons which are connected by plastic inhibitory and excitatory synapses. In particular, we describe how these networks are capable of accounting for the te...
متن کاملRepetition priming endurance in picture naming and translation: contributions of component processes.
The processes contributing to the durability of repetition priming in picture naming and its decline across a week were assessed in two experiments with Spanish-English bilinguals. In Experiment 1, both picture identification and word retrieval processes of picture naming exhibited facilitation after a week. Word retrieval priming declined substantially relative to a 10-min retention interval, ...
