Abstract: | Summary Perceptual identification is conceived here as a two-stage process which includes perceptual processing and a response-decision. Three models for the decision part are discussed. Nakatani's (1972) model is based on choice theory and incorporates sophisticated guessing. Rumelhart's (1971) model assumes that the probability of a response equals either the prior or posterior probability of the stimulus corresponding to this response. A third model is derived which incorporates assumptions from both Nakatani's and Rumelhart's model. According to the results of two visual identification experiments Rumelhart's model has been rendered implausible whereas the third model provides a more plausible interpretation of the results. |
