TL;DR
The results demonstrated that it is possible to predict speeded recognition performance from performance in perceptual matching, and a simple stochastic feature-sampling model provides a unified account of the data from the 4 experiments.
Abstract
The role of perceptual feature sampling in speeded matching and recognition was explored in 4 experiments. Experiments 1-3 involved a perceptual matching task with pictures of various objects and scenes. In Experiments 2 and 3, same-different judgments were given under time pressure. The main objective of the matching task was to obtain measures of the perceptual processing rates of different object features. Experiment 4 was an old-new recognition experiment, in which the same stimuli as those in the matching task were used. Response signals were used to limit processing time in the recognition task. The results demonstrated that it is possible to predict speeded recognition performance from performance in perceptual matching. A simple stochastic feature-sampling model provides a unified account of the data from the 4 experiments.

A theory of memory retrieval is developed and is shown to apply over a range of experimental paradigms, and it is noted that neural network models can be interfaced to the retrieval theory with little difficulty and that semantic memory models may benefit from such a retrieval scheme.

A unified quantitative approach to modeling subjects' identification and categorization of multidimensional perceptual stimuli is proposed and tested and some support was gained for the hypothesis that subjects distribute attention among component dimensions so as to optimize categorization performance.

A unified theory of visual recognition and attentional selection is developed by integrating the biased-choice model for single-stimulus recognition with a choice model for selection from multielement displays in a race model framework.

Previously published sets of classification and old-new recognition memory data are reanalyzed within the framework of an exemplar-based generalization model and the summed-similarity decision rule is shown to be consistent with a wide variety of recognition memoryData obtained in classification learning situations and may provide a unified approach to understanding relations between categorization and recognition.

Global memory models are evaluated by using data from recognition memory experiments that provide information about the standard deviations of familiarity values for old and new test items in the models, and the models are inconsistent with these results.

It is suggested that different retrieval operations underlie recall and recognition, as in the SAM model of Gillund and Shiffrin (1984), which can be made to fit the results with certain relatively minor modifications.

Evidence was provided that Ss allocated attention to the psychological dimensions differentially for classification and recognition, and the distribution of attention came close to the ideal-observer distribution for classification, and some tendencies in that direction were observed for recognition.

Examination of the global memory models of Gillund and Shiffrin (1984), Hintzman (1988), and Murdock (1982), shows that the models treat item and associative information inseparably and modifications to these models do not predict any difference in their availability.

A process model of perceptual categorization is presented, in which it is assumed that the earliest stages of categorization involve gradual accumulation of information about object features.

208 Citations1997Konstantinos Moutoussis, Semir Zeki
The results show that there is a perceptual temporal hierarchy in vision, and human subjects misbind the colour and the direction of motion, or the color and the orientation of lines, because colour, form, and motion are perceived separately and at different times.

In three experiments it was found that increasing the length of a study list interfered with conscious recollection but left familiarity in place, suggesting that the two processes were acting in parallel.

Comparisons between the two models suggest that the race model can account for perceptual matching data at least as well as the diffusion model, and without the constraints on the parameters provided by the experimental conditions the diffusion and the race models are indistinguishable.

A simple hypothesis is presented that when two attributes are presented simultaneously, the activity of cells in a given processing system is sufficient to create a conscious experience of the corresponding attribute, reflecting the modular organization of the visual brain.

Judges of the frequency of test items (Y) that were highly similar to studied items (X) were investigated to test a prediction made by several memory models: that the judged frequency of Y should be proportional to the judging frequency of X.

Direct tests of several of the central assumptions of such models with feature-stimuli composed of the blank, one of two straight line features, or both line features positioned at a right angle show that a model which makes the strong assumptions that the features are sampled (‘detected’) independently and then reported in a direct, unbiased fashion performed acceptably in both conditions.
