What did early work by Posner & Mitchell (1967) aim to show?
The time taken for pps to respond to the task represents the cog. processes, how long it takes to recover and run visual/name codes
1 of 7
What did Posner & Mitchell (1967) find?
Pps were all fastest when repsonding to physical form matches and slowest when responding to consonant matches
2 of 7
What do ambiguous figure tasks measure?
How key features and structural relations of objects are represented in visual cognition
3 of 7
What is a temporal hierarchy?
Different forms of information take different amounts of time to recover from visual input
4 of 7
In the early stages of visual processing model, which stage has the slowest readout and which has the fastest readout?
Visual code=fastest, name code= slowest
5 of 7
What does evidence suggest about visual reasoning?
Humans naturally adopt mental simulation strategies, reflecting how problem solving+perception are closely linked
6 of 7
What did a mental transformation study using rotated letters by Cooper&Shepard (1973) show?
That pps mentally simulated the physical event of a rotated letter in order to efficiently perform during matching
