The predictions people make when placed in a two-choice uncertain outcome situation have received considerable attention in recent years. In the classical situation, as first used by Humphreys (1939), S is asked to predict which of two events (e.g., illumination or nonillumination of a light) will occur after a signal stimulus. The two events occur with fixed but unequal probabilities, say TI a...

Long-term memory for sequential position was examined following retention intervals that ranged from 30 sec to 24 h. The Estes perturbation model (1972) is shown to provide a reasonable qualitative fit of the dynamics of forgetting, even though the model was designed to account for the phenomena of immediate memory. Similarities among the forgetting processes ofshortand long-term memory are con...

The development of mathematical models of cognition from 1950 to the 1980s was shaped to an important degree by efforts to account for three empirical phenomena probability matching in simple multiple-choice learning, generalization as a function of commonality of learning and test situations, and the learning of perfect discriminations between similar stimuli. Among the models of the 1 9 5 0 ~...

Resumo—Os modelos computacionais de atenção visual, originalmente desenvolvidos para explicar o funcionamento dos mecanismos de atenção biológicos, ultimamente vem sendo utilizados como uma espécie de front-end em aplicações de visão computacional. Porém os requisitos necessários neste tipo de aplicação são completamente diferentes dos originalmente propostos. Em especial, um sistema de visão c...

Rotaviruses (Reoviridae: Rotavirus), the causative agents of acute diarrhea in mammals, including man and birds, possess a nonenveloped triple-layered icosahedral capsid about 75nm diameter, with a characteristic 11segmented genome of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) (Estes and Cohen, 1989). The genus Rotavirus is subdivided both serologically, based on the inner capsid VP6 protein, and electrophero...

This article reviews evidence and theories concerning the nature of stimulus representations in Pavlovian conditioning. It focuses on the elemental approach developed in stimulus sampling theory (R. C. Atkinson & W. K. Estes, 1963; R. R. Bush & F. Mosteller, 1951b) and extended by I. P. L. McLaren and N. J. Mackintosh (2000, 2002) and contrasts this with models that invoke notions of configural...
