Sensory discrimination as related to general intelligence
The hypothesis, originally proposed by Galton and elaborated by Spearman, that there is a functional correspondence between sensory discrimination and general intelligence ( g) continues to spark debate. Previous findings suggest that pitch discrimination and tactile discrimination are only weakly correlated with g. This study sought to replicate the pitch discrimination findings and to expand ...
متن کاملObject grouping contingent upon background
This study analyzes grouping between singletons (line elements popping out by orientation gradient) when they segregate from textures of uniformly oriented line elements. In the first experiment three adjacent singletons formed a texture bar; in the second experiment the distance between two singletons to be grouped was manipulated. The observer's task was to discriminate the orientation of the...
متن کاملThe precision of numerosity discrimination in arrays of random dots.
The precision of making discriminations between the numbers of dots in a pair of irregular arrays was measured. The results fit the assumption that the observer adds intrinsic variance to whatever variance is present in the numbers displayed, the errors depending upon the sum of the two. We found no evidence for incomplete use of the sample of information presented, other than this observer var...
متن کاملThe Role of Physical Factors upon Spatial Distribution of Rural Settlements in Torbat-Jam
Lack of appropriate and thorough attention toward physical – natural factors regarding rural settlements, has led to damages and subsequent costs based upon natural events incident. This in turn dictates the need for planning measures within the framework of risk mitigation and increase in settlements sustainability. This well applies to Torbat-Jam. This study aims to investigate Torbat-Jam’s r...
متن کاملMemory-based automaticity in the discrimination of visual numerosity.
In the development of memory-based models of automaticity, it is crucial to specify the nature of the memory representation. Seven experiments with 94 students use a counting task to determine whether a feature (i.e., identity, color, or orientation) is explicitly represented in memory. It is assumed that the degree of transfer to a pattern differing on one feature is determined by that feature...
