Exam 4: Recognizing Objects

Participants in a tachistoscopic procedure are shown the sequence CQRN.Participants misperceive this string as CORN.In a feature net account,which of the following statements is LEAST likely to contribute to this effect?

Explain how the McClelland and Rumelhart model could account for the word-superiority effect.

In what ways are facial and word recognition similar? In what ways are they different?

An experiment requires participants to quickly determine if a target is present.Which of the following tasks is likely to produce the longest reaction time?

A response threshold is the

A participant reads a list of words that includes the word "elephant." Later,the participant views another list of words,each of which is presented very briefly,followed by a mask.When the word "elephant" appears in the second list,the participant is more likely to perceive the word "elephant" in comparison to words that have not been recently viewed.This effect is called

Which of the following statements is true about the recognition of inverted faces?

In many experiments,participants have been shown nonword letter strings,presented very briefly.When asked to identify these strings,participants tend to make specific kinds of errors.How would these errors be best described?

A researcher shows a group of participants letter strings for a brief period of time (50 ms)and asks them to identify the letters that they saw.Based on previous research,describe the pattern of performance that is expected by answering the following questions: a.Can participants do this task at all? b.With what sorts of letter strings will their performance be worst? c.If they make mistakes,what sort of mistakes do they make? d.What do these results tells us about object recognition?

In a feature net model,knowledge of spelling patterns

This chapter describes in detail one way a feature net can be designed,but other designs may turn out to be preferable.For example,McClelland and Rumelhart's model makes use of all the following EXCEPT
