Week 5 - Face & Object Recognition

Objects consisting of geons is a critical assumption of which object recognition theory?

Biederman's Recognition-by-Components theory regards object recognition as a:

[blank_start]Face-Inversion[blank_end] Effect: inverted faces are disproportionately harder to recognise than upright faces relative to objects. [blank_start]Part-Whole[blank_end] Effect: memory for a face-part is more accurate when presented with the whole face. [blank_start]Composite[blank_end] Effect: obligatory influence from one (irrelevant) face half on judgements about other (relevant) half.

[blank_start]Specialisation[blank_end]: neural substrate and/or behaviour is selective for a category of stimuli. [blank_start]Domain Specificity[blank_end]: exclusive processing of a single domain of stimuli.

[blank_start]Valence[blank_end]: the positive or negative character of emotional experience. [blank_start]Affect[blank_end]: encompasses both emotions & moods.

What are some limitations of Appraisal Theory?

[blank_start]Integral[blank_end] Emotions: triggered by considering the consequences of a decision. [blank_start]Incidental[blank_end] Emotions: arise from past events totally unrelated to the present decision.

Happy individuals have a tendency to be more willing to pay more for some commodity than other people.

Negative affect is associated with increased use of heuristic processing and decreased use of analytic processing.

[blank_start]Deontological[blank_end] Judgements: judgements based on moral rules and/or obligations when resolving more dilemmas. [blank_start]Utilitarian[blank_end] Judgements: judgements based on practical and pragmatic considerations when resolving moral dilemmas.

[blank_start]Attentional Bias[blank_end]: selective attention to threat-related stimuli presented at the same time as neutral stimuli. [blank_start]Interpretive Bias[blank_end]: the tendency to interpret ambiguous stimuli/situations in a threatening fashion. [blank_start]Explicit Memory Bias[blank_end]: the tendency to retrieve mostly negative/unpleasant rather than positive/neutral information on memory tests involving conscious recollection. [blank_start]Implicit Memory Bias[blank_end]: the tendency to exhibit superior performance for negative or threatening than neutral or positive information on memory tests not involving conscious recollection. [blank_start]Cognitive Bias Modification[blank_end]: training typically designed to reduce attentional bias and/or interpretive bias.
