Integrating the Automatic and the Controlled: Strategies in Semantic Priming in an Attractor Network With Latching Dynamics

Automatic and Controlled Processes in Semantic Priming: an Attractor Neural Network Model with Latching Dynamics

Semantic priming involves a combination of automatic processes like spreading activation (SA) and controlled processes like expectancy and semantic matching. An alternative account for automatic priming has been suggested using attractor neural networks. Such networks offer a more biologically plausible model of real neuronal dynamics but fall short in explaining several important effects such ...

Spreading Activation in an Attractor Network With Latching Dynamics: Automatic Semantic Priming Revisited

Localist models of spreading activation (SA) and models assuming distributed representations offer very different takes on semantic priming, a widely investigated paradigm in word recognition and semantic memory research. In this study, we implemented SA in an attractor neural network model with distributed representations and created a unified framework for the two approaches. Our models assum...

Semantic Priming in Typical and Schizophrenic Individuals: An Attractor Network Model with Latching Dynamics

اختلال در شبکه معنایی بیماران اسکیزوفرنیک: آماده‌سازی معنایی با ارائه همزمان دو آماده‌ساز

Abstract Objectives: The present study was designed to investigate the automatic activation of seman-tic priming in schizophrenic patients. Method: 36 schizophrenic patients and 36 normal sub-jects participated in two experiments. In experiment one, the effect of semantic relation on iden- tification of degraded targets was examined between a series of single prime words and single target words...

Marketing Strategy Evaluation by Integrating Dynamic Systems Modeling and Network Data Envelopment Analysis

Nowadays, the service industries play an essential role in the economic development of countries, and among the various fields of insurance, life insurance is of particular importance because it covers its cover directly to humans. Increased competition in the insurance industry has led managers to seek marketing strategies that, in addition to increasing insurance sales, reduce costs and gain ...
