25
Visual Processing steps (early vs late)
Early: light > photoreceptors > RGCs > opticnerve -> thalamus -> Late: V1 > ... > V5 > visual association areas - Dorsal : Where, impaired guided motion - Ventral: What, impaired recognition/matching
26
Constructivist theory of perception
We use what we know to help percieve reality Illusions via prior knowledge & expections
27
Touch pathway, olfaction pathway, taste pathway
Touch: mechanoreceptors > spine > soma-sensory Olfaction: olfactory epithelium > olfactory bulb - DIRECT communication Taste: taste buds > palate > pharynx > upper esophagus > thalamus > primary gustatory cortex
28
Gestalt psychology (5 principles)
to deal with ambiguity, principles of: 1. experience: ie. figure ground segmentation 2. proximity: close = together 3. Closed forms 4. Good contour: if they are expected to continue we perceive them as continuous 5. Similarity
29
Direct Models (what are affordances?)
AGAINST top-down perception sensory infro is rich enough * J.J Gibson Affordances: links cues to function (button "affords" pushing)
30
Blindsight
V1 damage No explicit perception in that area Yes implicit perception Visual info is first processed implicity
31
Where pathway damage Akinetopsia Optic Ataxia Visual agnosia (2)
Akinetopsia : Visual motion blindness Optic Ataxia: inability to reach for objects Visual agnosia (2): difficulty recognizing objects > apperceptive - failure of perception > associative - failure of recognition
32
Template matching vs prototype theory
Template matching theory: every object has a template CONS: simplistic, demanding, cant explain perspective Prototype theory: average representation - flexible context matters (typicality)
33
Expectation & bistable figures
Expectation mattter Bistable figure: rabbit/duck; can change instantly
34
What are sound waves?
See Flashcard 33
35
Outer, Middle, Inner ear structures (2, 1:3, 3:4)
Outer: collects & focuses - Pinna + ear canal Middle: transfers & amplifies - Ossicles : malleus + incus + staples Inner: converts to neural signal - Cochlea: basal (highf) + apex (lowf) - Know basilar membrane & auditory nerve
36
How do hearing aids + cochlear implants work?
Hearing aids: Amplification - Speaker toward eardrum & middle ear Cochlear implants: Deliver sound directly to auditory nerve
37
Physical -> perceptual (amplitude, temporal info, wavelength)
Amplitude > loudness Time & sound level 🔺 > location Wavelength > frequency
38
Misophonia
Not a hearing disorder decreased tolerance to specific sounds source matters psychological & physiological
39
Types of attention (3, what brain areas?)
Top-down: controlled & focuses > frontoparietal, IPS, FEF, & BAS Bottom-up: stimuli guided >TPJ, VFC Arousal: physiological (alertness) > autonomic nervous system, reticular activatings
40
endogenous vs exogenous attention
endogenous: top down exogenous: bottom up
41
spatial neglect
VPC damage severe > hemi-neglect
42
Balint Syndrome
visual & spatial coordination deficits bilateral PL & OL damage 1. Optic ataxia: problems grasping/visual control 2. Oculomotor apraxia 3. Simultagnosia
43
Simultagnosia
lack of ability to perceive more than a single object at a time
44
Optic ataxia
problems grasping/visual control
45
Oculomotor apraxia
a deficiency in voluntary, horizontal, lateral, fast eye movements (saccades) with retention of slow pursuit movements
46
Types of top down attention (3)
Sustained attention Divided attention (shifts between tasks) Selective attention > ignore other inputs > 4 theories*
47
*Early filter models
Broadbent, filter at perception level Selected info processed Evidence for : dichotic listening unattended better by ear Evidence against: attended info can "break through"
48
*Treisman's attenuation model
Early filters dial down unattended info instead of eliminating it
49
*Late selection filter model
We process to meaning, then select Evidence for: Stroop task (colored color names) > interference is evidence we process for meaning then ignore
50
*Load Theory
Selection occurs at different pts depending on load High load > early Low load > late Sensory >(*ESFM *high load)> perceptual>STM (semi filter attenuator) > (*LSFM *low load) > Reponses
51
Load (2 ways to define)
Central resource capacity: one resource pool Multiple resource capacity: multiple pools capacity reached sooner if info from same pool
52
Flanker task
High load performs badly no matter what flanks it Low load: incompatible had higher RT
53
Flicker technique (change blindness)
change blindness: failure to notice change Flicker technique: interstimulus mask leads to not noticing change
54
Inattentional blindness
Failure to notice new or unexpected events
55
Posner's spotlight theory & cueing task
Spotlight Theory: we ignore outside of the attentional spotlight, disengage & shift Cueing task: fixate on screen w/ cue area target presented long time interval: target in dif. arrea has faster RT "been there done that": recently attended areas inhibited
56
Visual search tasks (2 phases)
Pre-attention phases: - object features separately coded - Bottom up processing Focused attention phase: - object features integrated - Top down processing
57
Features vs conjunction search
Feature: one feature, bottom-up > pop-out effect: independent of # of distractors Conjunction: Multiple features, top-down
58
Overt vs Covert attention
Overt: attending with eye movement Covert: attending without eye movement
59
Attentional capture
Bottom-up: surprise/prediction errors - we attend what we don't expect Universal: faces, biological motion, etc. Individual: personally relevant , addiction, fears (preparedness premise) Go/no-Go: slower RT w/ attentive stimuli
60
Stages of memory
Encoding: form memory trace ↓ Storage: retain memory trace ↓ Retrieval: activate memory trace via cue
61
Multi-store model
input > sensory mem. >(*attending) STM >(*rehearsing) LTM
62
Types of sensory memory (5, time)
Sensory memory is a few seconds - Gustatory: taste - Olfactory: smell - Echoic: sound - Haptic: touch - Ionic: sight (millisecond)
63
STM (where, how long, how many items)
PFC 20-30sec Chunking: group info (chess study)
64
Working memory (3 parts)
Phonological loop > passive verbal info : inner ear > articulatory control loop: inner voice Visuospatial sketchpad > visual cache: feature info > inner scribe: spatial location/movement Episodic buffer: STM & LTM integration, concious awareness
65
LTM -spaced repetition -forgetting curve -testing effect -levels of processing > self reference effect
Spaced repetition: reduces forgetting Forgetting curve is exponential (Ebbinghaus) Testing effect: test, don't just study! Levels of processing: shallow processing has sensory focus, deep integrates w/ higher level knowledge. ex: self reference effect
66
Decay vs Interference theory
Decay theory: memories lost via disuse Interference theory: memories disputed during pre-consolidation > Proactive - prior info interferes w/ new > Retroactive - new info interferes w/ old Similarity effect: more similar the memory the more likely the interference
67
Generation effect
Active recall is better than passive ex: exercises vs readings
68
Specificity hypothesis & state - dependent learning
Recall is better when encoding & retrieval context overlap Recall is better in the same state >ie, drunk-drunk = shallow-shallow >sober-drunk = deep-shallow
69
Episodic vs Semantic memory (patient KC!)
Episodic: specific event & episodes > context - what, where, when > hippocampus Semantic: facts & general info > no context > semantic dementia = impaired (left anterior TL)naming & matching Patient KC had intact semantic but no episodic
70
Anoetic, noetic, & autonoetic consciousness
Anoetic: IMPLICIT, no awareness/personal engagement Noetic: SEMANTIC, awareness but no engagement Autonoetic: EPISODIC, both awareness & engagement
71
Reappearance hypothetis
Episodic memory trace is recalled the same way each time Reproduced instead of reconstructed > unchanged
72
Flashbulb memories
Vivid memories of emotional/shocking event No actual memory difference (same amount forgotten) Belief of accuracy & vividness higher
73
Consolidation path & distortion
. active memory ↗️ recall ↖️↘️ stimuli > STM ---consolidation--> LTM Retrieval changes a memory trace; distortion Schemas: create expectation, cause to insert false info: what must have been
74
War of Ghosts experiements
Schemas ! Bartlett (1932) Native Americans story didn't match Western story structure > Westerners changed the story over time
75
Misattribution & misinformation effects
Misattribution effect: failure of source monitoring > familiar info > wrong source Misinformation effect: leading questions can create false memories
76
Procedural Memory
Automatic behavior/actions BG > motor sequence PFC > organization More immune to forgetting
77
Priming
Prior exposure influences current processing
78
Habits (how to form & break?)
Explicit + repitition = implicit Component of OCD & addictions Forming: reg. striatum Breaking: reg. INHIBITION of PFC
79
Retrograde, anterograde, & dissociative amnesia (HM & Clive Wearing)
Retrograde: loss of past memories (Clive Wearing) Anterograde: don't form new memories (HM + Clive Wearing) Dissociative: rare psychiatric disorder > usually trauma based rather than physical > retrograde amnesia for episodic/autobiographical > new identity, lifestyle, etc.
80
Alzheimer's trajectory
Deficit Area --------------------------------------- Mild Impairment MTL ↓ Mild | LTL & PL ↓ | Moderate | }AD FL ↓ | Severe | WIDESPREAD
81
Healthy Memory aging
Loss of 5% every decade after 40 Hippocampus most atrophied Intact implicit & semantic Impaired working & episodic Associative deficit hypothesis: associative recognition hardest
82
Extrem Memory (taxi drivers HSAM, OCD)
Taxi drivers have larger p. hippocampi HSAM people can remember every single day of their lives, IN DETAIL Consistency in memory recal correlated w/ OCD
83
Concepts, categories & exemplars
Concepts: general category knowledge, representation Categories: items grouped according to cencept Exemplars: items in a category
84
Organization (dementia, graded)
1. superordinate > 2. basic > 3. subordinate ex: mammal > dog> spaniel Dementia: 2) more intact than 1&3 Graded organization: at a certain level specificity isn't helpful Generalization > concepts
85
Classic Concept approch
Form rules Defining features: necessary & sufficient Characteristic features: common but not necessary Update list Good for simple concepts, bad for complex ones
86
Similarity approach (feature list vs network exemplar vs prototype)
Fuzzy Boundaries Features list rigid, network flexible Exemplar list leads to prototype of exemplar overlap - similar exemplars closer than prototype in network
87
Prototype theory vs exemplar theory
Prototype - prototype in memory - worse at classifying newer - typicality effect - doesn't account for context (typical bird in farm vs city) Exemplar - every instance in memory - recall some of category & compute similarity - explains context
88
Knowledge vs similarity based approach
Knowledge is explanation in lieu of computing similarity Implicit, intuitive knowledge Essentialism: the idea that categories have an underlying reality
89
Ad-hoc categories
Categories for a specific goal Dissimilar members into temporary category
90
Perceptual symbols (property verification task)
Links perceptual & conceptual knowledge PVT: faster RT if engaging a feature from the same sense/percepts asked about. Living vs non-liiving: visual vs functional
91
Broca's aphasia Wernicke's aphasia Conduction aphasia Paraphasia (2) What are neologisms?
Broca's aphasia: NONFLUENT > L inferior frontal gyrus Wernicke's aphasia: FLUENT > L posterior superior TL Conduction aphasia: Impaired Repetition > arcuate fasiculus Paraphasia (2): - Verbal: substitute w/ something semantically related - Phonemic: swapping or adding sounds -Neologism: made-up words (bromance)
92
Naturist vs nurturist aguisition
Naturist: pre-equipped, innate capacity to learn language - Chomsky - Complex, acquired rapidly, & adaptable - Support: poverty of stimulus, uniformity, convergence Nuturist: NOT pre-equipped, acquired thru skill learning - Behaviorist, trial & error, associative
93
innateness hypothesis
We are born with grammar principles Language Acquisition Device (LAD) supports language universal grammar > we only need to learn specifics
94
resolving ambiguity (3) & theories of sentence parsing (2)
- Phonological - Lexical (within word) - Syntactic, parsing (within sentence) PARSING: - syntax first: use rules, local/specific - Constraint based: expectations, global/holistics
95
Dual-route model & Dyslexias (2)
. ↗️ letter by letter ↘️ Printed speech . ↘️mental dictionary↗️ Surface dyslexia: letter-by-letter - dictionary difficulties Phonological dyslexia: use mental dictionary - difficulty reading letter-by-letter (non&new words)
96
Cross-model priming task
Listen to two scenarios: one biases context (homophones/homographs) Do lexical decision task at the same time > word or not word? Short SOA: both meaning primed - unrelated world had longer RT Long SOA: context-related primed - unrelated & context inappropriate have longer RT
97
Bilingualism (traditional vs new views, percentages)
Traditional view: bilinguals fully monolingual in both INDEPENDENT New view: more plasticity ! they influence each other ≈ 60% of the world is bilingual 70% - MTL, 50% - QC, 18% Canada
98
Language co-activation (ways to test, what, cognates)
What: both languages active & competing Tasks: Lexical decision task, pictures naming task Cognates lead to faster RT Interlingual homographs ---> interference Facilitation & interferences stronger in L2
99
Co-activation reading effects
Bilinguals have shorter fixation times for cognates - longer FT for homographs Native language NOT intact
100
Inhibitory control model
Triggered in the presence of competition Supervisory attention system inhibits unwanted long Proportional to co-activation level
101
Language switching & children
Generally: L1 > L2 easier than L2 > L1 - harder to inhibits L1 Children : no behavioral differences for L1 - brain differences from inhibition
102
Domain-specific vs domain-general
Domain-specific: language control - test with switching Domain-general: cognitive control - test with Stroop, Flanker, Simon - bilingual advantage
103
Cognitive reserve & aging
Bilingual have more posterior activation Monolingual rely ↑ on FL with age 3 or 4 years later dementia onset :)
104
Bilingualism caveats
Replication crisits Small sample size Confirmation bias * Context dependent: environment that demand bilingualism could demand better cognitive control Social context
105
Availability heuristic
Estimate probability based on how easily its brought to mind Lichtenstein
106
Affect heuristic
Overestimate risk of something that elicits a stronger emotional response
107
Representativeness heuristics & baserate neglect
Representativeness heuristic: assume that small samples represent the larger pool Results in base rate neglect > ignoring previous rate info (Adam ex.) & conjunction fallacy > likelyhood of A is always higher than likelihood of A&B
108
Anchoring & adjustment
Tendency to overweight initial info *Kahneman & Tuerske w/ roulette Important for self report scales
109
Regression to the mean
Cant always attribute performance changes to manipulation Extreme values closer to the mean of random processes
110
Bounded vs ecological rationality
BOUNDED - Simon, 1957 - Humans are rational relative to constraints - Heuristics are "good enough" - We need them when we can't optimize ECOLOGICAL - Gigerenzer, 1999 -Heuristics are optimal - Can be better than optimization
111
Kinds of decision making (3)
Perceptual: objective, externally defined choice Value based: subjective, internal motivation/state Under risk: ambiguous consequences
112
Risk profile & risk premium (3 kinds of attitudes)
Risk profile: how we describe decisions Risk premium: difference between risk gain & certain gain Kinds: Risk adverse: positive RP Risk neutral: no RP Risk seeking: negative RP *most people are risk adverse
113
Rational choices & expected values
Most rational choices maximized expected value We are not rational creatures (see 112)
114
Framing & endowment effects
Framing: People are risk averse when gain framed People are risk seeking when losses framed Endowment: tendency to give higher value to objects you possess
115
Prospect theory (2 aspects)
Shape of utility function (see 114) - utility (subjective value) depend on state - losses>gains (lose 1$ hurts more than gain1$) Probability -likely events underestimated, unlikely over - extremity related to availability
116
Fourfold pattern
. | Losses |Gains ------------------------------------------------------ High probability|1) Risk |2) Risk | seeking |averse ------------------------------------------------------ Low probability | 3) Risk |4) Risk | averse |seeking 1) horror movie logic 2) salary/jobs 3) insurance 4) lottery tickets
117
Dual process theory & affect
Two systems: 1. Limbic, heuristics & biases FACT & AUTOMATIC 2. FC, rational choice SLOW & LOGICAL Affect: moods caused by prediction errors prediction error (+) ---> mood (+) ----> risk seeking prediction error (-) ---> mood (-) ----> risk averse
118
Illusory correlations
Over-emphasized outcomes ex: lucky jersey, cuz you wore it when they won one time
119
Gambler's fallacy & hot-hand belief
Gambler's fallacy: False belief that outcomes are limited ex: "due for a win", admissions offices more likely to admit after rejection Hot hand belief: "Winning streak"; false continuation of success
120
Inductive vs deductive reasoning
Inductive: - specific > general - automatic - low effort - 7-11 yrs - unaware? can become a heuristic Deductive - general > specific - slower -more effort -teenage years
121
Logic (what kind of reasoning?)
Deductive reasoning: will be true if systems followed
122
Syllogisms (2 premises, validity, 3 types)
Premises: major - general minor - specific Validity: premises assumed true, conclude with logic NOT necessarily true in the real world Types: all statements, all A are B negative statements, no A is B, no B is A some statement, some A are B (possibly all)
123
Syllogism fallacies (3)
Atmosphere effect: some A are B, some B are C so, some A are C < FALSE Negative statements: mental model theory, cant imagine negative statements
124
Omission bias
Inaction harder to classify as wrong the trolly problem Remove emotion (more utilitarian responses): vmpF lesions high functioning autism positive emotion induction
125
Belief bias
Some A are B Some C are D So some A are D < FALSE Relies on previous knowledge Kind of atmosphere effect
126
Conditional reasoning & Watson's task
If P, then Q Watson's task: test if P, then Q 1)P 2)Q 3)notP 4)notQ Flip 1&4 Test P>Q, & not Q > not P
127
Steps to problem solving
1) recognize & represent problem 2) analyze & solve 3) assess effectiveness of solution 4) REPEAT if necessary
128
Generalization (2 types)
Important for adaptive behavior Memories of solution should include "essence" for application Well-defined: all info is there ex: algorithms, puzzles Ill-defined: situational, needs info ex: social situations greater cognitive load
129
Moravec's Paradox
Ai works well w/ certainty, not with uncertainty Easy for humans = difficult for machines & vice versa ex: complex calculation subjectivity of emotionsP
130
Problem Space (what, ways to navigate)
Representation that include: initial & goal states, paths, constrains Navigation: - brute force: leads to combinational explosion - trial & error: for lower level false positive local maximum < hill climbing strategy : select option that brings closer means end analysis: sub problems - forward & backward movement - importance of recursion !
131
Analogical problem solving
Apply solution from situation A to situation B People don't naturally do this without surface similarity - even through structural similarity more important Linked to creativity & insight
132
Einstellung effect & mental/functional fixedness (what is pre-utilization?)
Einstellung effect: bias toward familiar problem solving methods Functional fixedness: "fixed" on object's known-function ex: 2 string problem, candle problem comes from pre-utilization (prior experience) Mental fixedness: overusing mental sets ex: water jug problem
133
Insight problem solving (4 features, subjectivity, expertise)
Forming new patterns or methods: "aha" moment ex: Gestalt switches Features: suddeness, ease, positive, confidence Subjectivity: people cant predict how close they are to solving a problem, unlike non-insight Expertise: experts ignore non-relevant info & spend more time defining a problem
134
Psychometrics (IQ tests, validity vs reliability)
Psychometrics: study of psychological assessment - standardized & follow normal distribution IQ: avg 100, SD 15, high reliability less validity CONS: marginalization, external factors Validity: is it actually measuring what its trying to? Reliability: able to be replicated
135
Francis Galton
Dark start to intelligence testing Eugenics
136
Alfred Binet
Developed test to assess education needs Thought his test measured academic output (intelligence) Simon-Binet test: 30 standardized Qs, easy > hard, ratio of mental vs chronological age
137
Weschler tests & Raven's Matrices (geneticsq)
Weschler: WISC - children & WAIS - adult - full scale IQ (verbal + performance) Raven's progressive matrices: patterns w/ missing sections - non-verbal - free from linguistic/cultural biases Genetics is a better indicator than environment (not perfect)
138
Flynn Effect
Average intelligence increases with time! Society gets healthier and more complex
139
Two-factor theory
* Spearman general intelligence (g) specific abilities (s) G factor is stable within a person S factors are task abilities, VARY - affected by educationg/environment
140
Cattel & horn theory
Fluid intelligence (like g): ↓ with age - capacity to acquire knowledge & think flexibly -> reasoning thinks & genetic basis Crystallized intelligence (like s): ↑ with age - acquired knowledge -> motivated learning, many factors
141
Savant syndrome
Can be congenital or acquired suggests different forums of intelligence -> like Garder's theory (g!)
142
Sternberg's theory
Intelligence is not a system/structure is the ability to automatize info processes & uses them appropriately 1) Meta - component: higher order planning/decisions 2) Performance component: task execution 3) Knowledge acquisition : processes to learn / store info
143
Triarchic theory
1) Components interact with certain material/tasks 2) that are relevant to a given situation 3) Creative, analytical & practical intelligence
144
Emotion & thinking
Positive mood leads to broad thinking greater susceptibly to mis info
