We describe a computational model to explain a variety of results in both standard and false recognition. A key attribute of the model is that it uses plausible semantic representations for words, built through exposure to a linguistic corpus. A study list is encoded in the model as a gist trace, similar to the proposal of fuzzy trace theory (Brainerd & Reyna, 2002), but based on realistically structured semantic representations of the component words. The model uses a decision process based on the principles of neural synchronization and information accumulation. The decision process operates by synchronizing a probe with the gist trace of a study context, allowing information to be accumulated about whether the word did or did not occur on the study list, and the efficiency of synchronization determines recognition. We demonstrate that the model is capable of accounting for standard recognition results that are challenging for classic global memory models, and can also explain a wide variety of false recognition effects and make item-specific predictions for critical lures. The model demonstrates that both standard and false recognition results may be explained within a single formal framework by integrating realistic representation assumptions with a simple processing mechanism.

In order to solve the problems of high planting density, similar color, and serious occlusion between spikes in sorghum fields, such as difficult identification and detection of sorghum spikes, low accuracy and high false detection, and missed detection rates, this study proposes an improved sorghum spike detection method based on YOLOv8s. The method involves augmenting the information fusion capability of the YOLOv8 model's neck module by integrating the Gold feature pyramid module. Additionally, the SPPF module is refined with the LSKA attention mechanism to heighten focus on critical features.

Smoke is a critical indicator of forest fires, often detectable before flames ignite. Accurate smoke identification in remote sensing images is vital for effective forest fire monitoring within Internet of Things (IoT) systems. However, existing detection methods frequently falter in complex real-world scenarios, where variable smoke shapes and sizes, intricate backgrounds, and smoke-like phenomena (e.

Pseudoaneurysm is a common vascular abnormality marked by arterial wall disruption, with complications that can arise unpredictably and carry high morbidity and mortality rates. This case study emphasises the management of recurrent haematuria and clot retention in a young man presenting to the emergency department. It underscores the importance of early recognition and management of recurrent haematuria and clot retention caused by pseudoaneurysm, emphasising the critical role of multidisciplinary collaboration in optimising patient outcomes.

False Memories of Familiar Faces.

Exp Psychol

January 2025

Department of Psychology, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA, USA.

Article Synopsis
  • Prior familiarity with faces, especially when they are known US celebrities, enhances recognition and source memory compared to unfamiliar European celebrities.
  • In two experiments, both familiar and unfamiliar faces showed improved recognition rates with repetition during learning, but participants were more accurate with familiar faces.
  • Experiment 2 revealed that while familiar faces were recognized more frequently, they were also more prone to being incorrectly identified as previously seen when paired with new backgrounds, suggesting complexities in face memory recall.

Perceptual fluency can increase familiarity of some of the items in recognition tests and enhance attributions of these items to the past. It is not clear, however, whether perceptual fluency can influence recognition under conditions promoting recollection-based memory. To this end, we performed a systematic replication of a study by Lucas and Paller (2013) using a letter-segregated method.
