Study Notes
Neural Networks
- The first layer in a neural network assigns a weight to each connection between neurons in the second layer and the neurons in the first layer.
- The purpose of adding a bias to the weighted sum in a neuron is to shift the activation function.
- The output layer is responsible for making predictions or classifications.
- The purpose of backpropagation is to learn neural networks by minimizing the error between predictions and actual outputs.
Object Perception
- The Recognition-by-components model proposes that objects are recognized by breaking them down into their component parts.
- The template matching model proposes that objects are recognized by matching them to a stored template.
- The feature-analysis model proposes that objects are recognized by extracting and analyzing their features.
- The main problem with the template matching model is that it requires a large number of templates to be stored.
- The main problem with the feature-analysis model is that it can be computationally intensive.
Perception
- The process of perception involves the interpretation of sensory information.
- Top-down processing emphasizes the importance of information coming from the outside world.
- Bottom-up processing is guided by higher-level processes such as beliefs, expectations, and memories.
- The term used to describe the combination of stimulus information from sensory receptors in object perception is data-driven processing.
- The term used to describe the effect of expectations on perception is top-down processing.
Attention and Bias
- The bias term in artificial neural networks (ANN) shifts the activation function.
- The purpose of the weights in ANN is to assign importance to each connection.
- Overfitting occurs when a neural network model fits the training data but fails to generalize to new data.
- Underfitting occurs when a neural network model is not complex enough to represent the data.
Cognitive Psychology
- The Salar de Uyuni is a region in Bolivia where the human eye loses its ability to establish depth.
- The consequence of the human eye losing its ability to establish depth in the Salar de Uyuni is that the moon appears larger when it is near the horizon.
- The term for the failure to recognize particular people by their faces is prosopagnosia.
- The term for the inability to recognize or identify visual objects despite relatively good visual perception is visual agnosia.
Brain and Vision
- The lateral occipital lobe is associated with object recognition.
- The fusiform gyrus is associated with face recognition.
- The term for the tendency to ignore or be unaware of information on one half of the visual field is visual neglect.
- The term for the phenomenon where patients with blindsight can correctly guess the emotions expressed by people with angry or happy faces is unconscious vision.
