چکیده

An adaptive function of the visual system is that it flexibly updates existing representations of objects upon changes. Such updating can also alter the representations of associated objects that are not directly observable. What mechanism supports this process? We propose that statistical learning provides a channel through which changes in one object are automatically transferred to related objects. Observers viewed a temporal sequence of paired circles. One circle in each pair then changed in size, and observers recalled the size of the other circle. When the first circle enlarged (or shrank), the second circle was judged to be larger (or smaller), suggesting that the change was automatically transferred to the predicted object (Experiment 1). The same, however, was not true if the second circle changed in size (Experiment 2). No observer was explicitly aware of the circle pairs. Thus, statistical learning enables the implicit updating of representations through predictive associations.

Developing a New Method in Object Based Classification to Updating Large Scale Maps with Emphasis on Building Feature

According to the cities expansion, updating urban maps for urban planning is important and its effectiveness is depend on the information extraction / change detection accuracy. Information extraction methods are divided into two groups, including Pixel-Based (PB) and Object-Based (OB). OB analysis has overcome the limitations of PB analysis (producing salt-pepper results and features with hole...

Estimating the contributions of associations and recoding in the Implicit Association Test: the ReAL model for the IAT.

We introduce the ReAL model for the Implicit Association Test (IAT), a multinomial processing tree model that allows one to mathematically separate the contributions of attitude-based evaluative associations and recoding processes in a specific IAT. The ReAL model explains the observed pattern of erroneous and correct responses in the IAT via 3 underlying processes: recoding of target and attri...

Linking actions and objects: Context-specific learning of novel weight priors.

Distinct explicit and implicit memory processes support weight predictions used when lifting objects and making perceptual judgments about weight, respectively. The first time that an object is encountered weight is predicted on the basis of learned associations, or priors, linking size and material to weight. A fundamental question is whether the brain maintains a single, global representation...

Approximation of fixed points for a continuous representation of nonexpansive mappings in Hilbert spaces

This paper introduces an implicit scheme for a   continuous representation of nonexpansive mappings on a closed convex subset of a Hilbert space with respect to a   sequence of invariant means defined on an appropriate space of bounded, continuous real valued functions of the semigroup.   The main result is to    prove the strong convergence of the proposed implicit scheme to the unique solutio...
