Eight pigeons were trained and tested in a simultaneous same/different task. After pecking an upper picture, they pecked a lower picture to indicate same or a white rectangle to indicate different. Increases in the training set size from 8 to 1,024 items produced improved transfer from 51.3% to 84.6%. This is the first evidence that pigeons can perform a two-item same/different task as accurate...

At any single moment, people are bombarded with arrays of information, some entering conscious awareness (supraliminal), fueling a rich phenomenal experience of the environment, and some hidden from awareness (subliminal), unavailable for report. This observation raises fundamental questions regarding the function of consciousness. Accumulating evidence shows that processing of certain visual f...

The paper presents a parallel between two important theories for the treatment of information which address questions that are apparently unrelated and that are studied by different research communities: an enriched view of formal concept analysis and abstract argumentation. Both theories exploit a binary relation (expressing object-property links, attacks between arguments). We show that when ...

We present a model that bridges work in analogy and category learning. The model, Building Relations through Instance Driven Gradient Error Shifting (BRIDGES), extends ALCOVE, an exemplar-based connectionist model of category learning (Kruschke, 1992). Unlike ALCOVE which is limited to featural or spatial representations, BRIDGES can appreciate analogical relationships between stimuli and store...

We present a cognitive model that bridges work in analogy and category learning. The model, Building Relations through Instance Driven Gradient Error Shifting (BRIDGES), extends ALCOVE, an exemplar-based connectionist model of human category learning (Kruschke, 1992). Unlike ALCOVE which is limited to featural or spatial representations, BRIDGES can appreciate analogical relationships between s...

Concept drift is an important concern for any data analysis scenario involving temporally ordered data. In the last decade Process mining arose as a discipline that uses the logs of information systems in order to mine, analyze and enhance the process dimension. There is very little work dealing with concept drift in process mining. In this paper we present the first online mechanism for detect...

University students are often asked to learn abstract concepts. Abstract concepts hard learn. Giving specific examples can help learning These might limit understanding the similarities between domain and particular examples. The primary purpose of this study was test whether exposure multiple would lead better than a single example. Secondarily, we were interested in there any particularly eff...
