Abstract:
A central problem of behavioural studies providing artificial visual stimuli for non-human animals is to determine how subjects perceive and process these stimuli. Especially in the case of videos, it is important to ascertain that animals perceive the actual content of the images and are not just reacting to the motion cues in the presentation. In this study, we set out to investigate how dogs process life-sized videos. We aimed to find out whether dogs perceive the actual content of video images or whether they only react to the videos as a set of dynamic visual elements. For this purpose, dogs were presented with an object search task where a life-sized projected human was hiding a target object. The videos were either normally oriented or displayed upside down, and we analysed dogs’ reactions towards the projector screen after the video presentations, and their performance in the search task. Results indicated that in the case of the normally oriented videos, dogs spontaneously perceived the actual content of the images. However, the ‘Inverted’ videos were first processed as a set of unrelated visual elements, and only after some exposure to these videos did the dogs show signs of perceiving the unusual configuration of the depicted scene. Our most important conclusion was that dogs process the same type of artificial visual stimuli in different ways, depending on the familiarity of the depicted scene, and that the processing mode can change with exposure to unfamiliar stimuli.

Abstract:
To test how preexisting long-term memory influences visual STM, this study takes advantage of individual differences in participants' prior familiarity with Pokémon characters and uses an ERP component, the contralateral delay activity (CDA), to assess whether observers' prior stimulus familiarity affects STM consolidation and storage capacity. In two change detection experiments, consolidation speed, as indexed by CDA fractional area latency and/or early-window (500–800 msec) amplitude, was significantly associated with individual differences in Pokémon familiarity. In contrast, the number of remembered Pokémon stimuli, as indexed by Cowan's K and late-window (1500–2000 msec) CDA amplitude, was significantly associated with individual differences in Pokémon familiarity when STM consolidation was incomplete because of a short presentation of Pokémon stimuli (500 msec, Experiment 2), but not when STM consolidation was allowed to complete given sufficient encoding time (1000 msec, Experiment 1). Similar findings were obtained in between-group analyses when participants were separated into high-familiarity and low-familiarity groups based on their Pokémon familiarity ratings. Together, these results suggest that stimulus familiarity, as a proxy for the strength of preexisting long-term memory, primarily speeds up STM consolidation, which may subsequently lead to an increase in the number of remembered stimuli if consolidation is incomplete. These findings thus highlight the importance of research assessing how effects on representations (e.g., STM capacity) are in general related to (or even caused by) effects on processes (e.g., STM consolidation) in cognition.

Abstract:
This thesis is an investigation of two different aspects of familiarity processes involved in visual word recognition. The first is how capitalisation influences visual word recognition. The second is the role played by onset, nucleus and coda in nonword recognition. A familiar aspect of proper names in English, is that they are printed with an initial capital letter. Two experiments investigated the effects of the capitalisation of the initial letter of nonwords. It was found that subjects generate fewer pronunciations for initially capitalised nonwords than for those which were not capitalised. I suggest that in English initial capitalisation acts as a cue strong enough to prompt readers to perceive unfamiliar strings of letters as belonging to the category of proper names. As a result, the phonological domain used to retrieve the pronunciation of initially capitalised strings becomes more restricted than that used for the non-capitalised unfamiliar strings. These results extend the applicability of Brennen's theory for proper names, which is based on the size of the set of plausible phonologies of a word. In a third experiment, pairs of nonwords had their familiar visual appearance manipulated in terms of first and last letter capitalisation, in a same-different matching task. Faster response times were obtained for those nonword pairs that kept a more familiar aspect (e.g., pairs in which the first letter was capitalised as opposed to others in which the last letter was capitalised). These results are explained in terms of Besner and Jonhston (1989) "orthographic familiarity route". I propose the transformation model as an explanation for the mechanisms by which this route operates. Nonwords are an important aspect of this thesis. A new algorithm was developed for the creation of monosyllabic nonwords in which the frequency of their onsets, nuclei and codas could be controlled carefully. This gave us the opportunity to study the influence of orthographic neighborhood in visual word recognition. The findings here are in agreement with previous studies which show the recognition of an item to be influenced by the presence of neighbours. It has been hypothesized that familiarity effects in visual word recognition can only be found in tasks where identification mechanisms are not implicated. Here, a new category of words, namely brand names, was used to test this hypothesis. There are many reasons why brand names are a more appropriate class of words than acronyms to be used in this type of investigation. The results obtained confirm the hypothesis above. Previously, acronyms had been the only class of words used to test this hypothesis. Finally, a computational assessment of the nature of the mappings from letterto- sound in British English was carried on. A program was developed to estimate the pronunciation of any string of English graphemes based on the probabilities of grapheme-phoneme correspondences. The algorithm was assessed by examining its behavior for nonwords. This was done by using a corpus of nonword transcriptions, collected in an experiment with trained phoneticians. The results confirm the fact that the statistical information about grapheme-phoneme correspondences alone is not sufficient to predict English pronunciation. Also, a method was developed that allows the quantification of the different orthographic depth for various languages.

Abstract:
The aim of the project is to investigate the influence of fa- miliarity on reading. Three new fonts were created in order to examine the familiarity of fonts that readers could not have seen before. Each of the new fonts contains lowercase letters with fa- miliar and unfamiliar skeleton variations. The different skeleton variations were tested with distance threshold and time thresh- old methods in order to account for differences in visibility. This investigation helped create final typeface designs where the fa- miliar and unfamiliar skeleton variations have roughly similar and good performance. The typefaces were later applied as the test material in the familiarity investigation. Some typographers have proposed that familiarity means the amount of time that a reader has been exposed to a typeface design, while other typographers have proposed that familiarity is the commonalities in letterforms. These two hypotheses were tested by measuring the reading speed and preference of partici- pants, as they read fonts that had either common or uncommon letterforms, the fonts were then re-measured after an exposure period. The results indicate that exposure has an immediate ef- fect on the speed of reading, but that unfamiliar letter features only have an effect of preference and not on reading speed. By combining the craftsmen’s knowledge of designing with the methods of experimental research, the project takes a new step forward towards a better understanding of how different type- faces can influence the reading process.

Abstract:
Thesis advisor: Sean MacEvoy
Humans can pay attention both to particular locations in space (“space-based attention”) and to specific objects (“object-based attention”). The goal of this study was to understand the role of object familiarity and complexity in the control of object-based attention. We used a well-known manifestation of object-based attention known as same-object advantage (SOA) to test this. In SOA, participants are faster at detecting a target event that takes place in a cued object than one that takes place in an uncued object, even when the distance between cue and target is kept fixed. To control shape familiarity, objects in the current study were randomly-generated irregular polygons known as Attneave shapes. Experiment 1 showed that SOA exists for these irregular shapes, even when participants are unfamiliar with them. In Experiment 2, participants first underwent training designed to familiarize them with a subset of the Attneave shapes used in Experiment 1. Again there was a significant SOA. If object-based attention is dependent upon object familiarity, we hypothesized that SOA, measured in terms of reaction time, should be greater in Experiment 2 than Experiment 1. Although there was a numerical increase in the reaction time signature of SOA in Experiment 2, this effect was not significant. While this does not strictly support our hypothesis, several aspects of this study suggest that object familiarity does play some role in mediating object-based attention

Abstract:
This thesis analyses eighteenth-century portraiture within the context of 'norms' propagated in contemporary prescriptive and fictional literature, 'norms' which overlay a heterogeneous reality. The aspirant portraitist had to accord with the desire of sitters to be depicted in a manner that would receive approbation. Thus, disparate relationships were pictorially subsumed within affectionate ideals that burgeoned in the mid eighteenth century, stimulated by the cult of sensibility and disseminated through an expanding body of literature to an expanding readership. However, these did not displace more 'traditional' concerns, but appeared alongside continuing pictorial emphases on patriarchy, hierarchy and dynastic continuity. The introduction outlines the historiography and methodology and provides a detailed summary of each chapter. Chapter one examines the emergence of the companionate marital portrait, together with pictorial condemnations of arranged and romantic unions. Chapter two argues that this new emphasis on affection did not displace patriarchy. Pendants continued to demarcate masculine and feminine domains whilst double portraits emphasised those domains as complementary, but unequal. Chapter three discusses the pictorial and literary sentimentalisation of motherhood and argues that condemnations of female display were acknowledged in portraits of engrossed and self-effacing mothers. Chapter four counters that the sentimentalisation of the patriarch was limited by a continuing preoccupation with his pre-eminence and that later images of playful children maintained earlier concerns with age and gender hierarchies and 'futurity'. Chapter five argues that both an emphasis on heirs and anxiety over the implications of high infant mortality for dynastic succession remained constant. The contextualisation of portraits within the home also reveals an emphasis on unbroken lineage. Chapter six examines satires of transgressions of ideal familial relations by members of a supposedly debauched aristocracy. However, these aristocrats sometimes countered such attacks with portraits emphasising status and domestic virtue. The conclusion summarises the arguments and discusses their implications for debates over class.

Full text
Abstract:
The perirhinal cortex (PRC) is a medial temporal lobe (MTL) structure known to be involved in assessing whether an object is familiar (i.e., meaningful) or novel. Recent evidence shows that the PRC is sensitive to the familiarity of both whole object configurations and their parts, and suggests the PRC may modulate part familiarity responses in V2. Here, using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we investigated age-related decline in the PRC's sensitivity to part/configuration familiarity and assessed its functional connectivity to visual cortex in young and older adults. Participants categorized peripherally presented silhouettes as familiar ("real-world") or novel. Part/configuration familiarity was manipulated via three silhouette configurations: Familiar (parts/configurations familiar), Control Novel (parts/configurations novel), and Part-Rearranged Novel (parts familiar, configurations novel). "Real-world" judgments were less accurate than "novel" judgments, although accuracy did not differ between age groups. The fMRI data revealed differential neural activity, however: In young adults, a linear pattern of activation was observed in left hemisphere (LH) PRC, with Familiar > Control Novel > Part-Rearranged Novel. Older adults did not show this pattern, indicating age-related decline in the PRC's sensitivity to part/configuration familiarity. A functional connectivity analysis revealed a significant coupling between the PRC and V2 in the LH in young adults only. Older adults showed a linear pattern of activation in the temporopolar cortex (TPC), but no evidence of TPC-V2 connectivity. This is the first study to demonstrate age-related decline in the PRC's representations of part/configuration familiarity and its covariance with visual cortex.

Abstract:
Figure assignment entails competition between object properties on opposite sides of borders. The figure is perceived on the side of the border that wins the competition. Ample evidence indicates that configural familiarity is among the competing object properties. We investigated whether priming the semantics of a familiar object suggested along one side of a border can increase its likelihood of winning the competition. To prime the semantics, we presented brief masked exposures of object names before brief masked exposures of displays where a portion of a familiar object was suggested on one side of a central border separating two equal-area, black-and-white regions. Participants reported whether the figure lay on the left or right side of the central border and were unaware of the presence of the word prime. These experimental primes named either the Same Object (SO) or a Different Object (DO) as the familiar object suggested in the display. In the DO condition, the word named an object either in the Same Category (DO-SC) or a Different Category (DO-DC) as the familiar object suggested in the display, where superordinate category was defined as natural versus artificial objects. We also used non-words as control primes. We hypothesized that, if semantic activation influences figure assignment, participants in the SO and DO-SC conditions should be more likely than participants in the DO-DC condition to perceive the figure on the side where the familiar object lies following experimental primes than control primes. We did not observe differences between experimental and control prime in any condition. However, we did obtain a Prime Context Effect, in that participants were more likely to perceive the figure on the familiar side of the border in the SO and DO-SC conditions than in the DO-DC condition. The Prime Context Effect shows that participants discerned the relationship between the masked word prime and the semantics of the familiar object suggested in the display, and this led them to change their strategy on both experimental and control trials. We also found that behavior changed over the course of the experiment: Participants in the DO-DC condition perceived the figure on the familiar side of the border more often in the second half of the experiment, on both experimental and control trials. This pattern suggests that over the course of the experiment, they learned to rely more on information from the display than from the prime, perhaps by restricting their attention to the time when the figure-ground display appeared. Participants in the DO-SC condition perceived the figure on the familiar side of the border more often on experimental trials in the second half of the experiment, whereas their performance on control trials did not differ in the first and second half. We hypothesize that participants in the DO-SC condition learned to match the superordinate semantics of the experimental prime and the display, leading to semantic priming. Taken together, these results show that (1) participants can quickly learn the relationship between experimental primes and target displays and can change their strategy accordingly, and (2) semantic activation can affect figure assignment.

Abstract:
Chapter 2 looks at how travelers drew and described imperial landscapes, arguing that the picturesque was an aesthetic paradigm that concealed the monotony, hardship, and otherness of foreign lands. It analyses the complex interaction of aesthetic theory and perception, and highlights the propagandistic qualities of the picturesque that emerge in contrasts between the work of amateur and professional artists. By privileging certain sites, the picturesque ironically made much of the empire seem boring as even the most impressive views were rarely as spectacular in person as they were in paintings and engravings. Moreover, the visual familiarity of iconic sites meant fewer opportunities to explore the unexplored. Even in India, with its remarkable array of historical and religious sites, the British described much of the terrain as monotonous. In other locations, such as South Africa and Australia, where there were no ruins to enjoy, there was even less that was deemed noteworthy.

Abstract:
Since the ‘cultural turn’ of the 1980s the history of Renaissance medicine has been radically transformed, with older narratives stood on their head as concepts and categories for research have been re-thought. At the core of this change – for the period now familiarly referred to (not insignificantly) as ‘early modern’ – stands an epistemological reconsideration of the production of natural knowledge, and of power in relation to the core of medicine’s subject, the human body. Additionally, at issue are the origins of modernity itself. Building on the foundations of this historiographical transformation, the essays in this volume elaborate, refine and challenge what are now standard interpretations in the study of medicine and the body in the early modern period. They broaden the scope of study through exploration of the contact zones between European knowledges and practices with other indigenous cultures. They draw attention to the riches of early modern material and visual culture as they take stock of how key epistemological notions for the study and practice of medicine, such as ‘experience’ and ‘authority’, were shaped and redefined. Moreover, essays on such topics as food, animals, environment, and mind and brain demonstrate how the cultural turn has revived and given new urgency to themes long central to the study of sickness and health. Wetting appetites and distilling the recent past, these essays work collectively to remind readers that the ‘cultural turn’ is far from over.

Abstract:
In the Western art music tradition, among many others, top ensembles are distinguished on the basis of their creative interpretation and expressivity, rather than purely on the precision of their synchronization. This chapter proposes that visual cues serve as social motivators during ensemble performance, promoting performers’ creative engagement with the music and each other. This chapter discusses findings from a study in which skilled duo musicians’ use of visual cues (eye gaze and body motion) was examined across the course of a rehearsal session. Results show that performers are driven to interact visually: (1) by temporal irregularity in the music and (2) by increased familiarity with the music and their co-performer. Synchronization success was unimpaired during a “blind” performance where performers could not see each other. Ensemble musicians thus choose to supplement their auditory interactions with visual cues despite their visual interactions offering no apparent benefit to synchronization.

Abstract:
Chapter 17 lays out primary features and functions of visual long-term memory. Recollection and familiarity are distinguished. Different levels of abstractness/concretion in long-term perceptual retention are highlighted. Ability-general, or schematic long-term memory, often misleadingly called ‘semantic memory’, is distinguished from de re long-term memory, which retains perceptual reference to particulars. Episodic memory is a species of long-term de re memory. The representational forms, including the iconicity, of these different types of long-term memory are set out. There is some discussion of whether the different types of memory are different systems or rather different aspects or faces of a single memory system. The discussion stresses functions to retain perceptual contents in long-term visual memory. Relations between perceptual and conceptual attributives in long-term memory are outlined. The chapter concludes with a summary of relations among the various types of perceptual memory, short- and long-term.

Abstract:
Brand familiarity is an important and frequently used concept in marketing research and practice. Existing measures of brand familiarity typically rely on subjective self-reports and Likert scales. Here we develop and empirically test two implicit measures to quantify brand familiarity. Based on research in visual attention and computer image processing, observers in a first visual search task are incentivized to quickly find a target brand among varying numbers of competitor brands. In the second approach, we measure the speed at which observers can identify a target brand that is gradually revealed. Both approaches are validated in preregistered experiments. Results show that reaction times predict brand familiarity on an individual level beyond conventional self-reports, even when controlling for “bottom-up” visual features of the brand logo. Our findings offer an innovative way to objectively measure brand familiarity and contribute to the understanding of consumer attention.

Abstract:
Traffic sign visual information provides road users with the basic instructions regarding route selection, safety at intersections, warnings on physical obstacles on the road and safe route marking. The use of sophisticated eye tracking systems is an efficient way to analyse the influence of traffic signs on drivers’ behaviour. In this paper, the drivers’ perception of traffics signs has been analysed using such a system. The aim of this paper is to determine how the perception of traffic signs changes according to the frequency of driving on a specific route or according to the route familiarity. The results show that the drivers’ perception of traffic signs declines as they get familiar with the route and road conditions. In addition, older drivers having more driving experience perceive fewer signs and elements from the environment because they are often led by their own experience and knowledge, so they do not need the same amount of information as compared to younger drivers.

Abstract:
In architecture, sparse research has been conducted on the effects of psychometric factors over the stylistic preferences of actors. The overlapping research between psychology and architectural aesthetics shows some consistent relationships between distinct facets of personality and visual preferences [Cleridou and Furnham 2014; Cook and Furnham 2012]. Those findings are incipient and are based on specific architectural styles. In the interest of producing general standard measurements for the architectural stylistic preferences of groups and individuals, this paper explores the following question: ‘What aspects of trait personality can predict an actor’s preferences for visual complexity in architecture?’ The paper starts from the current state of the art in visual cognition, trait theory and complexity, followed by an experiment designed to test correlations between architectural visual preferences for complexity and personality traits. Seven participants had some type of architectural training while the other three were part of the general population. The sample’s cultural background varied slightly most having a Romanian, British or Malaysian nationality. The findings describe possible linear relationships between high general complexity and intellect (p=0.004), and respectively broad extroversion (p=0.001). Other findings show possible links between self-consciousness (p=0.016) and high complexity interiors, as well as broad agreeableness (p=0.011) and medium complexity surfaces. Participant rated familiarity might not explain the high significance. The small sample sizes and other limitations are possible causes of the overly optimistic nature of the results. Successful developments in this area are potentially valuable in contemporary industrial research with applications in business intelligence. Other theoretical potential and use scenarios are discussed.

Abstract:
Mona Lisa by Leonardo Da Vinci has been subject to numerous and various transformations in the form of (re)interpretations, reproductions, replicas, appropriations and parodies. Mona Lisa is far more than a mere Renaissance portrait or a symbol of its time. Instead Mona Lisa is radically connected with artistic movements and practices throughout the history of art as well as with the 20th and 21st century visual culture, visual commerce and social media imagery. This paper presents an activity in a higher education Department of Early Childhood where students experimented with digital tools and made a collective artwork of digital transformations of Mona Lisa. This digital experiment was a distance education project which took place during the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions in Greece. At first, students were given examples of appropriations and parodies of Mona Lisa from the history of art as well as from the visual culture. Then students gave their own "responses" through making digitally transformed versions of Mona Lisa which they put together in a collective digital mosaic. Clones, distortions, semi-transparencies, repositions and other transformations within 75 Mona Lisa versions render this collective artwork a composition with reference to pixel structure. Students' collective artwork contributed to the deeper understanding of Da Vinci's masterpiece and increased their confidence and familiarity with Renaissance painting. The case of this activity proves that digital culture is a catalyst for art history learning and creativity in the classroom. Furthermore, this activity fosters collaborative learning through distance education and turns out to be a vehicle for empowering learners in a digital world, as well as for developing linguistic, numerical and multisensory skills through digital creativity. Keywords: Mona Lisa, Leonardo Da Vinci, distance education, higher education, digital art, participatory practices, community resilience

Abstract:
The Fast Wavelet Transform (FWT) is a powerful new tool which can be used for vibration analysis and condition monitoring of advanced rotating machinery. The main advantage of wavelet analysis for condition monitoring is that so-called wavelet maps can be produced showing three dimensional plots of amplitude versus frequency and time. This is in contrast to Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis, in which the time domain of the signal is lost. The wavelet maps provide striking visual indications of tiny changes in machine behaviour which cannot be detected in a normal frequency spectrum. This improves the chances of averting catastrophic failures and expands the time window available to take corrective action. Additional advantages of wavelet analysis over FFT analysis include: (1) no requirements for periodicity of the signal, (2) extremely fast computation, (3) the location of patterns in the time domain and (4) an effective detection of high frequency details. Wavelet analyses of all types are available but user-friendly information is hard to come by and this has a detrimental effect on progress towards practical commercial applications. Thus, the main purpose of this paper is to provide a simple and clear introduction to wavelet analysis and its use in machine condition monitoring. The paper has been written for an audience having some familiarity with spectrum analysis but no prior knowledge of wavelets.

Abstract:
Introdução: A consulta de enfermagem ginecológica utilizando o Processo de Enfermagem desenvolve atividades que visam melhorar a qualidade de vida e preparar a mulher para o autocuidado. Muitas vezes o acadêmico de enfermagem tem dificuldade na condução da consulta de enfermagem voltada a saúde da mulher, de maneira abrangente integral e holística, contemplando os diversos aspectos da saúde da mulher. Objetivo: Evidenciar a experiência de acadêmicos com o uso de um instrumento norteador para a coleta de dados na consulta ginecológica. Material e métodos: Trata-se de um relato de experiência, descritivo, realizado por acadêmicos de enfermagem do último ano, que se encontram em estágio supervisionado na atenção básica no interior do estado de Rondônia. Resultado: Por meio de um estudo bibliográfico construiu-se um instrumento de coleta de dados (roteiro) acerca da consulta de saúde da mulher. O roteiro contempla perguntas sobre: histórico sexual e obstétrico, histórico pregresso, histórico social, histórico familiar, histórico vacinal; além disso, engloba sinais e sintomas ginecológicos. O instrumento é aplicado no intuito de guiar a consulta de enfermagem durante a coleta para exame citopatológico do colo uterino (Papanicolau). A utilização do instrumento proporcionou um direcionamento e segurança ao acadêmico durante a consulta, ademais, ele aprimora o atendimento e comunicação com a usuária, oferecendo um serviço integral e humanizado. Conclusão: Tonou-se notório que a utilização de um roteiro se faz necessário para a sistematização da consulta de enfermagem, e a inclusão deste durante a graduação familiariza o discente com os processos de enfermagem. Sendo essencial articular estratégias e instrumentos que viabilizem um caminho para uma assistência integral e qualificada.
