Delta Model

Learning about reward and expected values of choice alternatives is critical for adaptive behavior. Although human choice is affected by the presentation frequency of reward-related alternatives, this is overlooked by some dominant models of value learning. For instance, the delta rule learns average rewards, whereas the decay rule learns cumulative rewards for each option. In a binary-outcome choice task, participants selected between pairs of options that had reward probabilities of .65 (A) versus .35 (B) or .75 (C) versus .25 (D). Crucially, during training there were twice as many AB trials as CD trials, therefore option A was associated with higher cumulative reward, while option C gave higher average reward. Participants then decided between novel combinations of options (e.g., AC). Participants preferred option A, a result predicted by the Decay model, but not the Delta model. This suggests that expected values are based more on total reward than average reward.

Point Light

Observers appear to perceive the paths of abstract centers of point-light configurations in making judgments about movement. For configurations on rolling wheels a metric was derived that described the relative vertical motion of this point. It was hypothesized that the smaller the metric the more the stimulus should appear to move in a wheel-like manner with linear translation. In two experiments observers viewed pairs of stimuli and were asked to select either the event that appeared most wheel-like or the one that hopped the most. Viewers consistently selected the stimulus with the smaller metric as being more wheel-like, with a frequency that increased with the difference between metrics. The inverse of this pattern was found for those observers requested to select the stimulus that hopped most. In a second set of two experiments observers drew the translationl paths of these stimuli. Their drawings corresponded to the motion paths of configural centroids. Together, these results strongly suggest that observers perceive the translational component of the motion of the configurations as the path described by their centroids, or geometric centers. We propose that this description of the stimulus event is determined by the logical ordering of information extraction provided by the perceptual system, and discuss this logic and cases where it seems evident.

AbstractMemory for naturalistic pictures is exceptionally good. However, little is known about people’s ability to monitor the memorability of naturalistic pictures. We report the first systematic investigation into the accuracy and basis of metamemory in this domain. People studied pictures of naturalistic scenes, predicted their chances of recognizing each picture at a later test (judgment of learning, JOL), and completed a recognition memory test. Across three experiments, JOLs revealed substantial accuracy. This was due to people basing their JOLs on multiple cues, most of which predicted recognition memory. Identified cues include intrinsic picture attributes (e.g., peacefulness of scenes; scenes with or without persons) and extrinsic aspects of the study situation (e.g., presentation frequency; semantic distinctiveness of scenes with respect to the context). This work provides a better understanding of metamemory for pictures and it demonstrates close parallels between metamemory for naturalistic scenes and verbal materials.
