The Feature-Analysis Theories

question 72

Multiple Choice

The feature-analysis theories

• A) can only explain letter recognition; they cannot account for the recognition of other two-dimensional visual stimuli such as triangles or squares.
• B) argue that each visual stimulus is unique, with no features in common with other visual stimuli.
• C) propose that each visual stimulus must be compared with an idealized representation of an entire stimulus in memory.
• D) state that we differentiate among stimuli in terms of a limited number of specific characteristics.

Definitions:

Fixed Proportion

A production scenario where inputs must be used in specific, unchangeable ratios to produce output, often resulting in a limitation on the flexibility of the production process.

Isoquant Map

A graphical representation showing different combinations of inputs that produce the same level of output.

Curves

In various contexts, it refers to graphical representations that show a relationship between two or more variables or factors.

L-shaped Isoquant

A graphical representation in production theory showing combinations of input factors that yield the same output, where the shape indicates perfect substitutability between inputs up to a point, followed by no substitutability.
