paper. In one experiment of this procedure, short-term memory (STM) could be used only, while
in another one, both STM and VSM could be used. All the targets and the patterns were in
different places. We found that the achievement in the former was better than that in the latter.
This result suggested that VSM could be recognized when the target and the patterns were not in
same locations.
2076.5 Cue abstraction and exemplar memory in non-linear judgment, Anna-carin Olsson 1 ,

We examined which cognitive processes people use in linear vs. non-linear conditions. Across two
experiments we found that a non-linear task with a quadratic relationship among four binary cues
is to demanding for analytic abstraction of any rules of cue-criterion relationship and participants
are therefore forced to use an exemplar-based process. In a linear condition both cue abstraction
and exemplar model were used suggesting that these models can be used in a linear multiple cue
judgment task with the same level of achievement.
2076.6 Conversation of energy theory: A different explain on repetition blindness, Haoming
Liu, Jijia Zhang, China
This experiment explored the effect of repetition blindness in Chinese language processing in
RSVP tasks. Subjects look at a CRT screen showing rapid sequences of Chinese characters, which
was divided into several different contrasts according to strokes level, part level, morpheme level
and homophone level. Subjects type into the keyboard the identities of the target characters.
Response time and accuracy data are collected. It was indicated that probably we could use the
conversation of energy to explain repetition blindness, which was a totally different explain.
2076.7 The effects of Chinese locative expressions on the directional judgment in
two-dimensional layouts, Qunhui Yang, Kan Zhang, Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy
of Sciences, China
In the experiment we mainly investigated the effects of Chinese locative expressions on the
Directional judgment in Two-Dimensional Layouts. The participants were asked to report, by
locative expressions, which direction the line point to. A line presents itself randomly in
Two-Dimensional coordinates system. The Lines were circularly arranged around origin and their
angular relation was varied in steps of 22.5 degrees. Only the four canonical expressions (ease,
south, west, north) and their single composites were allowed. The results indicated that the
latencies of judgment are not a function of the angle between the line and the horizontal axis.
2076.8 The role of featural and configural information across viewpoint and expressive
transformations in the recognition of unfamiliar faces, Blossom Stephan, Diana Caine,
University of Sydney, Australia
While considerable evidence indicates that face identity recognition involves both featural and
configural processing, this has been derived from analyses of full-frontal, non-expressive faces.
This study examines the contribution of this information across viewpoint and expressive
transformations. Participants (N=95) learnt the identity of unfamiliar faces and were later tested
for recognition in complete or part-face format, across changes in viewpoint and expression. A
