For the cross-stimulus effects, I thought that the adaptor could reduce contrast sensitivity

I wonder what would happen if the stimulation is the same but the question is low-level - like "which color patch is more saturated"?

Also, do you think participants really have the value information about an entire multi-color display almost with no practice?

Cool idea. Your poster grabbed my attention at VSS this year. The exp with cross-dimensional transfer is smart.

I still cannot stop thinking about low-level explanations... I can speculate some in each experiment, but I can be biased by the individual stimulus examples in the figures

Check our preprint to learn more about why memorability inherently predicts asymmetric recognition, and what this means for memory theory. 4/4

We could accurately predict asymmetric performance from measuring “memorability” properties of individual items. The combination of items tendencies to cause true or false recognition drives their confusability when tested together. We found it with some fun signal-detection modeling. 3/4

For instance, 93% participants who memorized the carpet from the picture above correctly recognized that carpet when it was tested against the handbag. But only 64% of those who memorized the bag could recognize it against the carpet. In fact, both the carpet and bag are to blame in each case! 2/4
