Bias to (and Away from) the Extreme: Comparing Two Models of Categorical Perception Effects
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Best, Ryan M.; Goldstone, Robert L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
Categorical perception (CP) effects manifest as faster or more accurate discrimination between objects that come from different categories compared with objects that come from the same category, controlling for the physical differences between the objects. The most popular explanations of CP effects have relied on perceptual warping causing…

Baayen, R. Harald; Milin, Petar; Durdevic, Dusica Filipovic; Hendrix, Peter; Marelli, Marco – Psychological Review, 2011
A 2-layer symbolic network model based on the equilibrium equations of the Rescorla-Wagner model (Danks, 2003) is proposed. The study first presents 2 experiments in Serbian, which reveal for sentential reading the inflectional paradigmatic effects previously observed by Milin, Filipovic Durdevic, and Moscoso del Prado Martin (2009) for unprimed…

On the Nature of Streaks in Signal Detection.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Gilden, David L.; Wilson, Stephanie Gray – Cognitive Psychology, 1995
Signal detection experiments with 21 college students suggest that streakiness is a property of auditory and visual discrimination in that correct and incorrect responses have a positive sequential dependency. Monte-Carlo simulations of observed data sequences suggest that streaky performance results from wavelike variations in perceptual and…
