Book Description
Invariances in Human Information Processing examines and identifies processing universals and how they are implemented in elementary judgemental processes. This edited collection offers evidence that these universals can be extracted and identified from observing law-like principles in perception, cognition, and action. Addressing memory operations, development, and conceptual learning, this book considers basic and complex meso- and makro-stages of information processing. Chapter authors provide theoretical accounts of cognitive processing that may offer tools for identification of functional components in brain activity in cognitive neuroscience

Human Information Processing
Author: Douglas Vickers
Publisher: North Holland
ISBN:
Category : Human information processing
Languages : en
Pages : 574
Book Description
The contributions in this volume report research on various aspects of the processing of information by human beings. The papers reflect orientations ranging from the broadly ecological to the highly abstract and formal. Their substantive concerns encompass questions of perception, action, and the mechanisms which mediate between them, and the papers are characterised generally by a close relationship between empirical findings and theoretical issues. This selection of papers on various aspects of human information processing reflects orientations ranging from the broadly ecological to the highly abstract and formal. The papers encompass questions of perception, action, and the mechanisms which mediate between them, and are characterised generally by a close relationship between empirical findings and theoretical issues. The papers fall into five main groups. The first is concerned with sensory and perceptual mechanisms and with the adaptation and control of physical movement; the second is concerned with the elementary processing of stimulus representation; the third with computational models of the processes involved in memorizing, recognizing, and recalling information; the fourth (small) group is concerned with the modelling of more molar decision behaviour; and finally, the fifth group is predominantly concerned with attempts to derive measures of intellectual performance which have explicit relationships to a theoretical account of elementary cognitive activity.

Cognition and Categorization
Author: Eleanor Rosch
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1003827527
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
Originally published in 1978, the papers in this book derive from a 1976 meeting sponsored by the Social Science Research Council to discuss the nature and principles of category formation. It is organized in three sections: real-world categories, the cognitive processes underlying categorization, and the nature of representation. Part I examines different structural aspects of real-world categories: folk biological taxonomies, within and between category structures for material objects, and some categories in a language that codes the world in a visual–gestural mode. All three chapters in Part I assume category processors who are able to perform at least three cognitive functions: They can judge similarity between stimuli; they can perceive and process the attributes of a stimulus; and they can learn. Part II presents analyses of these three cognitive functions. All discussion of psychological structures and processes lead eventually to the issue of representation, and Part III examines representational assumptions underlying the earlier discussions. Today it can be read and enjoyed in its historical context.

Mathematical Models of Perception and Cognition Volume I
Author: Joseph Houpt
Publisher: Psychology Press
ISBN: 1317297520
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 285
Book Description
In this two volume festschrift, contributors explore the theoretical developments (Volume I) and applications (Volume II) in traditional cognitive psychology domains, and model other areas of human performance that benefit from rigorous mathematical approaches. It brings together former classmates, students and colleagues of Dr. James T. Townsend, a pioneering researcher in the field since the early 1960s, to provide a current overview of mathematical modeling in psychology. Townsend’s research critically emphasized a need for rigor in the practice of cognitive modeling, and for providing mathematical definition and structure to ill-defined psychological topics. The research captured demonstrates how the interplay of theory and application, bridged by rigorous mathematics, can move cognitive modeling forward.

Self-Organizing Maps
Author: Teuvo Kohonen
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642979661
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 438
Book Description
The second, revised edition of this book was suggested by the impressive sales of the first edition. Fortunately this enabled us to incorporate new important results that had just been obtained. The ASSOM (Adaptive-Subspace SOM) is a new architecture in which invariant-feature detectors emerge in an unsupervised learning process. Its basic principle was already introduced in the first edition, but the motiva tion and theoretical discussion in the second edition is more thorough and consequent. New material has been added to Sect. 5.9 and this section has been rewritten totally. Correspondingly, Sect. 1.4, which deals with adaptive subspace classifiers in general and constitutes the prerequisite for the ASSOM principle, has also been extended and rewritten totally. Another new SOM development is the WEBSOM, a two-layer architecture intended for the organization of very large collections of full-text documents such as those found in the Internet and World Wide Web. This architecture was published after the first edition came out. The idea and results seemed to be so important that the new Sect. 7.8 has now been added to the second edition. Another addition that contains new results is Sect. 3.15, which describes the acceleration in the computing of very large SOMs. It was also felt that Chap. 7, which deals with 80M applications, had to be extended.

Quantifying Human Information Processing
Author: Dennis K. McBride
Publisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 9780739112014
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
Rapid advances in IT that allow complex information to be presented in high volume and density are challenging human ability to absorb and analyze data as never before. Designing technologies and systems to provide optimal sensory information to human users will be increasingly important. Led by experts in psychology, cognitive science, and information processing, among other fields, researchers sought to quantify the information flow in the nervous system, the limits of that flow, and how it is affected by emotions. The researchers found important indicators of both the capacity and limits of the human brain, and offer new ways to think about the brain.
