Pattern Recognition

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Pattern Recognition   The stage of perception during which a stimulus is identified.  
🗑
Tachitoscope   A box that presents visual stimuli at a specified duration and level of illumination. (Not used anymore)  
🗑
Template   An unanylized pattern that is matched against alternative patterns by using the degrees of overlap as a measure of similarity.  
🗑
Sensory Store   The part of memory that hold unanalyzed sensory info for a fraction of a second, providing an opportunity for additional analysis following the physical termination of a stimulus.  
🗑
Interstimulus Interval   The amount of time b/t the end of a stimulus and the beginning of another stimulus.  
🗑
Feature Theory   A theory of pattern recognition that describes patterns in terms of their parts or features. (/ + \ + - = A)  
🗑
Perceptual Confusion   A measure of the frequency with which two patterns are mistakenly identified as each other.  
🗑
Distinctive Feature   A feature present in one pattern but absent in another, aiding one's discrimination of the two patterns.  
🗑
Caricature   An exaggeration of distinctive features to make a pattern more distinctive.  
🗑
Structural Theory   A theory that specifies how the features of a pattern are joined to other features of the pattern.  
🗑
Geons   Different 3-D shapes that combine to form 3-D patterns.  
🗑
Whole-report Procedure   A task that requires observers to report everything they see in a display of items.  
🗑
Partial-report Procedure   A task in which observers are cued to report only certain items in a display of items.  
🗑
Visual Information Store (VIS)   A sensory store that maintains visual information for approx. 1/4 of a second.  
🗑
Rehersal   Repeating verbal information to keep it active in STM or to transfer it into LTM.  
🗑
Auditory Information Store   In Sperling's model: maintains verbal information in STM through rehersal.  
🗑
Serial Processing   Carrying out one operation at a time, such as pronouncing one word at a time.  
🗑
Parallel Processing   Carrying out more than one operation at a time, such as looking at an art exhibit and making conversation.  
🗑
Scan Component   The attention component of Sperling's model that determines what is recognized in the visaul information store.  
🗑
Detection Paradigm   A procedure in which observers have to specify which of the two possible target patterns is present in a display.  
🗑
Word Superiority Effect   The finding that accuracy in recognizing a letter is higher when the letter is in a word than when it appears alone or is in a nonword.  
🗑
Interactive Activation Model   A theory that proposes that both feature knowledge and word knowledge combine to provide info about the ID of letters in a word.  
🗑
Excitatory Connection   A positive association between concepts that belong together, as when a vertical line provides support for the possibility that a letter is K.  
🗑
Inhibitory Connection   A negative association b/t concepts that do not belong together, as when the presence of a vertical line provides negative evidence that a letter is a C.  
🗑
Parallel Distributed Processing (PDP)   When information is simulatenously collected from different sources and combined to reach a decision.  
🗑
Neural Network Model   A theory in which concepts (nodes) are linked to other concepts through excitatory and inhibitory connections to approximate the behavior of neural networks in the brain.  
🗑
Nodes   The format for representing concepts in a semantic network.  
🗑
Activation Rule   A rule that determines how inhib. and excit. connections combine to determine the total activation of a concept.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
