چکیده

The human visual system can implicitly extract a prototype of encountered visual objects (Posner & Keele, 1968). While learning a prototype provides an efficient way of encoding objects at the category level, discrimination among individual objects requires encoding of variations among them as well. Here we show that in addition to the prototype, human adults also implicitly learn the feature correlations that capture the most significant geometric variations among faces. After studying a group of synthetic faces, observers mistook as seen previously unseen faces representing the first two principal components (eigenfaces, Turk & Pentland, 1991) of the studied faces at significantly higher rates than the correct recognition of the faces actually studied. Implicit learning of the most significant eigenfaces provides an optimal way for encoding variations among faces. The data thus extend the types of summary statistics that can be implicitly extracted by the visual system to include several principal components.

Summary : ” Eigenfaces for Recognition ” ( M . Turk , A . Pentland )

”Eigenfaces for Recognition” seeks to implement a system capable of efficient, simple, and accurate face recognition in a constrained environment (such as a household or an office). The system does not depend on 3-D models or intuitive knowledge of the structure of the face (eyes, nose, mouth). Classification is instead performed using a linear combination of characteristic features (eigenfaces...

The Position of Implicit and Indirect Learning in Ethical Education

The rationalist approach has been dominated on the education environment of values for many years. Unilateral and excessive focus on this approach has revealed ignorance of a vast part of human implicit learning and his intuitive ethical judgments which have been the source of many ethical behaviors. The study intends to answer the question that why only direct and deductive educations about va...
