Effects of Contrasting Category, Conjoint Frequency and Typicality on Categorization
Two experiments were conducted to investigate whether (a) experience with a contrasting category, (b) conjoint frequency of dimensional values, (c) range of typicality of values, and (d) type of information administered during learning influenced subsequent test performance. Each experiment began with an observational category learning task, employing faces as stimuli. This was followed by a cl...
متن کاملTesting typicality in multiverse cosmology
In extracting predictions from theories that describe a multiverse, we face the difficulty that we must assess probability distributions over possible observations, prescribed not just by an underlying theory, but by a theory together with a conditionalization scheme that allows for (anthropic) selection effects. This means we usually need to compare distributions that are consistent with a bro...
متن کاملRunning head: EPISODIC MEMORY AND THE TESTING EFFECT 1 Testing Enhances Learning Across a Range of Episodic Memory Abilities
Brewer and Unsworth (2012) reported that individuals with low episodic memory ability exhibit a larger testing effect, a finding with potentially important educational implications [Brewer, G. A., and Unsworth, N. (2012). Individual differences in the effects of retrieval from long-term memory. Journal of Memory and Language 66, 407-415]. We conducted two replication attempts of that study. Exp...
متن کاملDistinctiveness Effects in Face Memory Vanish with Well-Controlled Distractors
The “distinctiveness effect” in face memory holds that distinctive faces are recognized better than typical faces, as reflected by higher hit rates and lower false alarm rates during recognition tasks. We propose that this effect is due to a systematic bias in the similarity relationships between target and distractor faces. Specifically, we claim that distinctive faces are recognized more succ...
متن کاملHippocampal activation during episodic and semantic memory retrieval: comparing category production and category cued recall.
Whether or not the hippocampus participates in semantic memory retrieval has been the focus of much debate in the literature. However, few neuroimaging studies have directly compared hippocampal activation during semantic and episodic retrieval tasks that are well matched in all respects other than the source of the retrieved information. In Experiment 1, we compared hippocampal fMRI activation...
