Question 1.

I present to you very quickly the word "DARK" OR I present to you "K" then I ask you if the display contained an E or a K. What do the results show?

You would be more accurate when the word was presented rather than the single letter.
You would do equally well (with high accuracy) for both conditions.
You would do equally well (with low accuracy) for both conditions.
You would be more accurate when the single letter was presented rather than the word.

Question 2.

The McClelland and Rumelhart model is different from the simple feature model in all the following ways EXCEPT that it does not include

inhibition as well as excitation
bidirectional activation
bigram detectors
none of the above

Question 3.

For face recognition, in general, as compared to objects such as houses

faces are more impacted by orientation than objects.
faces are less impacted by orientation than objects.
we are worse at recognizing faces both in the inverted and the upright positions.
we are better at recognizing faces both in the inverted and the upright positions.

Question 4.

Imagine that researchers have developed a drug that (temporarily) disrupts a person's ability for feature analysis. Let's say that we give this drug to someone, and then ask that person to search through various displays, looking for certain targets (visual search task). Based on what we know. we would expect the drug to

disrupt the search for a target defined by a single feature (e.g., "Find the red shape").
disrupt the search for a target defined by a conjunction of features (e.g., "Find the shape that is red and round").
have minimal impact on visual search strategies.
be equally disruptive if the person is searching for a target defined by a single feature (e.g., "Find the red shape") or if the person is searching for a target defined by a conjunction of features (e.g., "Find the shape that is red and round").

Question 5.

Which of the following statements offers the most support for the idea that object recognition is viewpoint-dependent?

We are able to show shape constancy when we look at objects.
Object recognition seems to involve a hierarchy of detectors, from feature detectors to whole object detectors.
There are neurons in the "what" pathway that respond most to a certain type of object in a certain position relative to the eyes.
When pieces of an object are missing, it is still fairly easy to recognize the object as long as the geons are still identifiable.

Question 6.

Which of these top-down effects on recognition is not explained by feature nets alone?

Letters are easier to recognize in the context of a word than in isolation.
Words are easier to recognize in the context of a sentence than in isolation.
Letters are easier to recognize in the context of a well-formed nonword (LIGE) than in isolation.
Composite faces are harder to recognize if they are aligned.

Question 7.

If I did a study asking you "Is this the same cat that I showed you before but now from the side," I am asking you to complete a viewpoint ________ study and I would find activations in the ______ lobe of the brain.

independent; occipital
independent; temporal
dependent; occipital
dependent; temporal

Question 8.

According to the recognition by components (RBC) model, which of the following is NOT true about geons?

Geons are simple shapes.

Geons are viewpoint-independent.

Geons are easy to identify.

All of the above are true.
