We provide new evidence concerning two opposing views of episodic associations: The independent associations hypothesis (IAH) posits that associations are unidirectional and separately modifiable links (A→B and A←B); the associative symmetry hypothesis (ASH), to the contrary, considers the association to be a holistic conjunction of A and B representations. While existing literature focuses on tests that compare the equality and correlation of forward and backward associations and favors ASH over IAH, we provide the first direct evidence of IAH by showing that forward and backward associations are separately modifiable for semantically related pairs. In two experiments, participants studied 30 semantically unrelated and 30 semantically related pairs intermixed in a single list, and then performed a series of up to eight cued-recall test cycles. All pairs were tested in each cycle, and the testing direction (A-? or B-?) alternated between cycles. Consistent with prior research, unrelated pairs exhibited associative symmetry – accuracy and response times improved gradually on each test, suggesting that testing in both directions strengthened the same association. In contrast, semantically related pairs exhibited a stair-like pattern, where performance did not change from odd to even tests when the test direction changed; it only improved between tests of the same direction. We conclude that episodic associations can have either a holistic representation (ASH) or separate directional representations (IAH), depending on the semantic relatedness of their constituent items.

Holistic Representation

This study examines client and parent/guardian perceptions of holistic juvenile public defense. A total of 66 subjects responded to a structured survey measuring satisfaction with holistic representation. Differences between perceptions were analyzed using paired T-tests and the Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used to analyze strength of association and interrelationships among variables and satisfaction. Qualitative data were collected through open-ended survey questions. The findings of this study indicate that holistic defense was perceived positively as measured by high client satisfaction. Further empirical research is necessary to evaluate the outcomes of holistic models and offer comparison to traditional models.

Holistic Representation

This paper considers the journalism and poetry Claude McKay produced for Sylvia Pankhurst's communist weekly Workers' Dreadnought in 1920 as a collaboratively produced body of work. This allowed Pankhurst to have a Black communist commentator on hand to cover workers' issues, and McKay used Pankhurst's periodical as a platform from which to dramatise the aesthetic and political potential inherent in collaboration between working-class activists, journalists, and artists for the paper's readers. In the Dreadnought's pages, McKay's poems very publicly weighed the value of collaborative labour and considered the arts' place in the class struggle. He simultaneously produced journalism that advocated collaboration among races to resist the racial antagonism that sparked violence in the most impoverished East End communities in the summers of 1919 and 1920. Ultimately, McKay's work for the Dreadnought produced a holistic representation of working-class intellectual life founded on the production of beauty and the exercise of aesthetic as well as political judgment, one that depicts these activities as inevitably commingled and collaboratively produced.

Runner's World is the ultimate guide to running. The magazine offers training tips, dietician-recommended recipes, gear guides, profiles on recreational and elite runners, and more. By design, Runner's World is meant to serve all runners, but by execution, the magazine fails to represent a broad range of body sizes. In fact, because of the magazine's prominence within the running community, it can even shape what runners looks like, and it has reinforced the idea that they are thin, muscular, and lanky. This study asks how Runner's World's editorial decisions affect these runners' connections to the magazine and identities as members of the running community. With a sample of 15 runners with diverse body sizes, this study uses semi-structured interviews to give these runners the platform that Runner's World does not. Data from these interviews suggest that Runner's World stories about weight loss or runners with diverse body sizes have a fatphobic tone to them. The lack of holistic representation reinforces the idea that smaller runners are faster, healthier, and more serious athletes. Runners with diverse body sizes then have to create their own networks to share the training tips, recipes, gear recommendations, and personal stories that Runner's World promises to publish. Because these runners don't see multifaceted representation of themselves in the magazine, they are hesitant to read it or sometimes even participate in the sport at all. This study encourages Runner's World to make running more inclusive by showing that all bodies are runner's bodies.

The subject of this research is the methods of psychological support of flight activity, which explicate the theory of Doctor of Psychological Sciences, Professor D. V. Gander on psychological support of flight activity. The author explores such questions as making decisions by pilot as the operator of ergatic system, with emphasis on the psychological aspects of flight activity on modern aircrafts and formation of professional competencies of the pilot. The research methodology is based on the systemic approach and encompasses theoretical-analytical and generalizing methods, longitudinal analysis, collection of empirical data, analysis of pilot activity through studying documentation and expert survey, professiography, and mathematical statistics. The scientific novelty is defined by the developed model of personal potential of the pilot from the perspective of holistic representation on the specificity and dynamics of the development of personal potential. The study of psychological professionally important qualities led to the creation of the factor model of personal potential of the pilot; while qualitative analysis of the acquired data allowed interpreting the content of personal potential from the perspective of systemic approach. Thus, the hypothesis is proven that the success of mastering flight activity depends not so much on the absolute values of the development of professionally important qualities, but on the specifically organized structure of qualities that form personal potential of the pilot. It is also stated that the achievements in flight activity are the most significant indicator of the status of development of personal potential.

Holistic Representation

With the introduction of the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and other classical algorithms, facial and object recognition have made significant progress. However, in a situation where there are few label examples or the environment is not ideal, such as lighting conditions, orientations, and so on, performance is disappointing. Various methods, such as data augmentation and image registration, have been used in an effort to improve accuracy; nonetheless, performance remains far from human efficiency. Advancement in cognitive science has provided us with valuable insight into how humans achieve high accuracy in identifying and discriminating between different faces and objects. These researches help us understand how the brain uses the features in the face to form a holistic representation and subsequently uses it to discriminate between faces. Our objective and contribution in this paper is to introduce a computational model that leverages these techniques, being used by our brain, to improve robustness and recognition accuracy. The hypothesis is that the biological model, our brain, achieves such high efficiency in face recognition because it is using a two-step process. We therefore postulate that, in the case of a handwritten digit, it will be easier for a learning model to learn invariant features and to generate a holistic representation than to perform classification. The model uses a variational autoencoder to generate holistic representation of handwritten digits and a Neural Network(NN) to classify them. The results obtained in this research show the effectiveness of decomposing the recognition tasks into two specialize sub-tasks, a generator, and a classifier.

Holistic Representation

Research with the mismatch negativity component of event-related potentials has uncovered a system that detects change in the acoustic environment on an automatic basis. The system is considered to compare incoming stimuli to representations of the past and to emit an MMN if change is detected. Previous investigations have shown that the relevant memory of the past can become dormant and then be reactivated by a reminder stimulus. It is unclear, however, whether what is reactivated is an holistic representation of stimuli or separate representations of features of stimuli. The present study provides data that supports the latter possibility but leaves open the former one.
