Computing Support for Basic Research in Perception and Cognition

Abstract

This report describes the progress made the second and final year of an equipment grant which has provided a common computing environment for four laboratories conducting basic research in perception and cognition at the University of Minnesota. Research in the Cognitive Psychology Laboratory has focused on developing a computer model of the interaction of declarative and procedural knowledge in skill acquisition. In the Visual Psychophysics Laboratory several image-enhancement algorithms have been developed as well as psychophysical procedures for evaluating those algorithms. Research in the Auditory Psychophysics Laboratory has concentrated on developing a model of the detection and recognition of complex auditory signals. In the Psycholinguistics Laboratory a computer model of text comprehension and recall has been assumptions of the model and show a good correspondence between its performance and that of college student subjects. Keywords: Perception(Psychology).
