Shape Words Extended Paper If you mislabel a shape with the wrong shape’s name, will it take people longer to identify the shape? There are studies conducted to interpret questions like these the studies are conducted by psychologist. Specifically what is studied is a person pattern recognition and it's a theory and the theory I will be analyzing is the (Feature Analysis) theory. Pattern recognition is cognitive process which matches information from stimulus to memory. From this stems a theory called Feature Analysis which states that the sensory system breaks down the incoming stimuli into features and then process the information. Some features may be more important for recognition than others. All stimuli …show more content…
Feature Analysis proceeds through four stages. 1 Detection 2 Pattern Dissection 3 Feature Comparison in memory 4 Recognition. (Eysenck & Keane 2003, 83–117) The purpose of the project shape words is to gather volunteers to do a series of studies throughout the Psychology Fair that will involve naming shapes but some shapes will be mislabeled yet the volunteer is try and name the shape as quickly as possible even it is mislabeled. The times of this experiment will be recorded and analyzed to see if there was a difference. In theory out of a number of test the second should be the fastest and the in the naming sequence the third pile of naming shapes should take the longest to identify. The results we should get should match up with the Feature Analysis theory showing how our brain is going through the four steps because the times will be different. Pattern Recognition
