Stereotype Content Model

Stereotype Content Model

The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Levels of Organization

Levels of Organization

Biological organization is the classification of biological structures, ranging from atoms at the bottom of the hierarchy to the Earth's biosphere. Each level of the hierarchy represents an increase in complexity that builds upon the previous level.
Molecules Are Composed of Atoms, and Biomolecules Are Assembled from Molecules:
The most basic levels include atoms, molecules, and biomolecules. Atoms, the smallest unit of ordinary matter, are composed of a nucleus and electrons. Molecules...

Hierarchy of Motor Control

Hierarchy of Motor Control

The hierarchy of motor control refers to the different levels of organization and processing involved in controlling movement in the body. These levels range from higher cortical areas involved in planning and decision-making to lower spinal cord reflexes that respond automatically to external stimuli.

Neural Circuits

Neural Circuits

Neural circuits and neuronal pools are two of the main structures found in the nervous system. Neural circuits are networks of neurons that work together to carry out a specific task or process. They consist of interconnected neurons and glial cells, which provide structural and metabolic support.
Neuronal pools are collections of nerve cells with similar functions and interact through chemical and electrical signals. These pools include both interneurons (the central neural circuit nodes that...

Inductive Reasoning

Inductive Reasoning

Inductive reasoning is a form of logical thinking that uses related observations to arrive at a general conclusion. It is uncertain and operates in degrees to which the conclusions are credible. As such, inductive arguments can be weak or strong, rather than valid or invalid, and conclusions can be used to formulate testable, falsifiable hypotheses.
Inductive reasoning is common in descriptive science. A life scientist makes observations and records them. This data can be qualitative or...

The Representativeness Heuristic

The Representativeness Heuristic

The representative heuristic describes a biased way of thinking, in which you unintentionally stereotype someone or something. For example, you may assume that your professors spend their free time reading books and engaging in intellectual conversation, because the idea of them spending their time playing volleyball or visiting an amusement park does not fit in with your stereotypes of professors.

Background:

Novelty detection is crucial for distinguishing familiar from unfamiliar stimuli.
Existing computational models struggle to replicate the high capacity of human recognition memory.
The hypothesis suggests novelty detection arises naturally in memory and representation learning networks.

Purpose of the Study:

To demonstrate that predictive coding can naturally discriminate novelty with high capacity.
To establish a unified framework for novelty detection, associative memory, and representation learning.
To investigate novelty detection across different levels of abstraction in hierarchical networks.

Main Methods:

Utilizing a predictive coding framework, known for representation learning and memory.
Analyzing the activity of neurons encoding prediction errors for novelty discrimination.
Implementing hierarchical predictive coding networks to assess multi-level novelty detection.

Main Results:

Predictive coding models successfully discriminate novelty with high capacity.
Neurons encoding prediction errors show increased activity for novel stimuli.
Hierarchical networks detect novelty at both low-level sensory and high-level semantic feature levels.

Conclusions:

Predictive coding offers a unified framework for novelty detection, associative memory, and representation learning.
The model demonstrates that a single system can perform these diverse cognitive functions.
This work advances computational models of cognitive functions like recognition memory.
