Major axes as a moderately abstract model for object recognition

Article Abstract:

Major-axis primes activate an abstract visual of the object used during recognition, thus facilitating identification. A different configuration of similar elements was not found to facilitate identification. Facilitation occurred with primes that provided information about the major axes, even as these primes were not technically relevant to identification. These were the findings in three experiments which sought to examine the use of information about major axes of object components and their configuration.

Priming spatial layout of scenes

Article Abstract:

Theories of perception and cognition aim to explain how observers perceive objects and surfaces, and their spatial relations within the natural environment. Object identification is thought to be mediated partly be mental representations of shape. In experiments observers responded to full-color images by indicating which of the objects was closer. Same-scene primes produced faster reaction times. The results show that prime-induced representations have an effect on the perception of spatial layout in scenes.

Very long-lasting priming in picture naming

Article Abstract:

Research of picture naming demonstrates that very long-lasting effects can be produced by just one exposure to stimulus. Priming is shown to last 48 weeks or more following brief exposure, with recognition performance higher than chance. Recognition and priming appeared to have similar patterns in the long delay tests as previous short delay tests. Explicit memory is not thought to be a mediator of the performance on either test.
