{"pk":26922,"title":"Sequential Effects in the Garner Tasks","subtitle":null,"abstract":"The distinction between integral and separable dimensions isof central importance to understanding how humans integrateinformation from multiple stimulus sources. One approach tocharacterizing stimulus integrality is through a set of speededcategorization tasks most closely associated with the work ofWendell Garner. These tasks demonstrate that integral dimen-sions result in marked speed up or slow down in respondingwhen there is correlated or irrelevant variation, respectively,compared with a baseline task. Little, Wang & Nosofsky(2016) recently found that the slow down or interference canbe largely explained by a reduction in the number of direct rep-etitions in a modified Garner filtering task. In this paper, weexamine a large sample of subjects tested on either separable orintegral dimensions to determine the extent of and individualdifferences in the overall and sequential effects in the standardGarner tasks.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"Categorization; Response Times; SequentialEffects"}],"section":"Talks: Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/95g1r2nm","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Deborah","middle_name":"J.","last_name":"Lin","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Melbourne","department":""},{"first_name":"Daniel","middle_name":"R.","last_name":"Little","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of Melbourne","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2017-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/26922/galley/16558/download/"}]}
