Which Mechanism Has Not Been Proposed as an Explanation for Perceptual

question 71

Multiple Choice

Which mechanism has not been proposed as an explanation for perceptual learning?

• A) The common elements of two stimuli develop more latent inhibition than the unique elements, and thus less generalization and confusion occur between the two stimuli.
• B) The common element will produce retrieval-generated priming of one of the unique elements that will not occur, and thus the unique elements will become inhibitory signals for each other.
• C) Complex stimuli have such a large number of features that only a fraction are sampled at any one time. In pre-exposure, more and more features are linked to one another, thereby producing pattern completion when just a subset of features is presented.
• D) The elements of the stimuli contribute to latent learning that is not manifest in behavior due to a lack of motivation. Perceptual learning is another case of the learning performance distinction: When no incentive is present, a behavior is less likely to occur.
