Conceptualization Of Dimensional Structure In Perceptual Priming

Implicit memory is an important branch in the research of memory and it has a close relationship with the priming effect. When using unfamiliar possible and impossible figures to do implicit memory research, the researchers find that priming effect is only observed for possible figures. Schacater argues that the object decision task is mediated to a large extent by a structure description system that computes global representations of the three-dimensional structure of objects. Ratcliff argues that we have a bias to react "possible" to the objects we saw before. In this study, we try to form a concept in impossible objects to see if we can observe priming effect. Our experiments shows that: 1.we can observe priming effect for impossible objects in the conceptual implicit memory task, it's the result of both conceptual and perceptual processing. 2.After study, we can form an image for impossible objects in our brain, and this image probably refers to the two-dimensional structure of objects.
