In this paper, Ss were given 96 trials on a simultaneous same-different similarity-dissimilarity task with histoform stimuli exhibiting different amounts of adherence to two generation rules.
Abstract
Ss were given 96 trials on a simultaneous same-different similarity-dissimilarity task with histoform stimuli exhibiting different amounts of adherence to two generation rules. Similarity judgments and number of same-correct responses were found to be a positive function of amount of adherence to a generation rule. Conversely, performance was poorer (i.e., fewer correct, or higher similarity, ratings) as adherence increased on different-correct trials. It was suggested that Ss at least partially respond to learned attributes, but that these attributes are not well distinguished as defining separate classes.

Schema Learning Theory: An Approach to Perceptual Learning

TL;DR: The concept of schema was first introduced by Bartlett (1932) in accounting for changes in memory over time as tending to be more approximate to the familiar as mentioned in this paper, where experience is mediated in some form by the effects of organization derived from the experience which acts to organize further experiences.

Variability judgments in a three-category pattern classification task

TL;DR: In this article, Ss were required to classify, without knowledge of results, 30 sets of complex, multidimensional histoforms which were distortions of three different population prototypes; Ss then provided scaled judgments of stimulus variability following each classification response.

Constraint Redundancy as a Determiner of Attribute- and Rule-Learning Aspects of Sequential Pattern Recognition

TL;DR: Results showed that decreasing magnitude of redundancy reduced the degree to which both attribute- and rule-learning occurred, and the supposition that constraint redundancy is a necessary condition for and one of the main determiners of the schema-learning process was confirmed.

Vargus 7: Computed patterns from markov processes

TL;DR: Research in pattern perception could benefit from an efficient method for sampling unfamiliar patterns from a defined population of stimuli under conditions which allow for independent control of uncertainty, redundancy, and schema.

Free sorting with stimuli clustered in a multidlmensional attribute space

TL;DR: In this article, an experiment was conducted to determine whether Ss leam, without knowledge of results or prior familiarization with the prototypes, to sort histoform stimuli generated by three probabilistic rules into categories consistent with these mies.

Perceptual learning in pattern discrimination tasks with two and three schema categories

TL;DR: The authors demonstrated that humans can distinguish between stimuli of either two or three schema families without externally administered knowledge of results or prior familiarization with the population prototypes, which supports the perceptual learning theory that differentiation of higher order variables can occur on the basis of information derived from perceiving the stimuli and indicate the need for further investigation of the detailed conditions under which the phenomenon occurs.
