The strength based mirror effect (SBME) refers to an increase in hit rates (HR) and a decrease in false alarm rates (FAR) for the test lists that follow a strongly encoded study list. Earlier investigation of accuracy and reaction time distributions by fitting the diffusion model indicated a mirror effect in the drift rate parameter, which was interpreted as an indication of more conservative responses due to a shift in the drift criterion. Additionally, the starting point for the evidence accumulation was found to be more liberal for the strong test lists. In order to further investigate this paradoxical effect of list strength on these two kinds of bias estimated from the diffusion model, we employed the response-deadline procedure which provided a direct assessment of response bias early in retrieval, prior to evidence accumulation. Results from the retrieval functions indicated more liberal response bias in the list strength paradigm with both pure- and mixed-strength study lists. On the contrary, the SBME was observed at the asymptotic accuracy, suggesting that the conservative response bias might be observed later in retrieval when memory evidence has fully accumulated. In addition, comparison of the SBME across pure and mixed lists revealed that the SBME was most prominent in the pure-list paradigm, suggesting that both the differentiation and criterion shift accounts jointly explain the SBME in recognition memory.

Non-parametric radar detection in homogeneous and non-homogeneous environments Yılmaz, Koray Kamil (2007-06-13) In this study, non-parametric constant false alarm rate (CFAR) radar processors are investigated. Performance analysis of the system, which uses generalized sign test in its detector, is done in homogeneous and non-homogeneous environments. Also the performance of the system is compared with the performance of the cell averaging constant false alarm rate (CA-CFAR) detector in the homogeneous and non-homogeneous environments.
Predictions of REM Model on the Null List-Strength Effect in Source Recognition Aytaç, Sinem; Kılıç Özhan, Aslı; Criss, Amy H. (2020-7-27) The strength-based mirror effect in recognition memory is the finding observed as an increase in hits and a decrease in false alarms after an additional study. When a set of items is strengthened in a list in which another set is not, recognition memory performance of weak items is not negatively affected by being studied along with strong items. This finding is defined as the null list-strength effect and both of these findings are explained by the differentiation mechanism. Currently the study conducted b...
The list length and the list strength effects in recognition memory Kılıç Özhan, Aslı (2015-11-18) Strengthening items in a list increases hit rates and decreases false alarm rates in recognition memory, known as the strength based mirror effect (SBME). The SBME has also been observed when study lists were mixed in strength but the test list consisted of only strong targets or only weak targets. However, the size of the SBME observed in the mixed list paradigm depends on the task employed to strengthen the items (e.g., spaced repetitions or levels of processing) and the length of the study list. The curr...
Improvement of radar detection by doppler pattern matching Çelebi, Duygu; Severcan, Mete; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) In this thesis, improvement of Cell Averaging Constant False Alarm Rate (CA CFAR) radar processors is studied. A new improvement method is proposed that will reduce probability of false alarm while keeping probability of detection at good values. This method makes use of Doppler spreading patterns that appear after Doppler processing. Therefore this method is called Doppler Pattern Matching (DPM). Performance of the algorithm has been investigated by Monte Carlo simulations. In order to evaluate the perform...
Spectral Features of Heart Rate Variability Obtained from a Video Camera Çağlayan, Ece; Özkurt, Tolga Esat (2015-05-19) In this study, we propose a scheme to investigate the relationship between cognitive tasks and heart beat rate. Accordingly, a video focused on the face was recorded during a working memory experiment. Heart rate was noninvasively estimated from the camera recording. Subsequently, its spectral features were examined. These values were compared with heart rate dynamics obtained from a standard ECG. As a result of the comparison, we observed that the data from the video were compatible with the common heart r...
