Fuzzy-trace theory
Fuzzy-trace theory (FTT) is a theory of cognition originally proposed by Charles J. Brainerd and Valerie F. Reyna that draws upon dual-trace conceptions to predict and explain cognitive phenomena, particularly in the memory and reasoning domains. The theory has been used in areas such as cognitive psychology, human development, and social psychology to explain, for instance, false memory and its development, probability judgments, medical decision making, risk perception and estimation, and biases and fallacies in decision making.
==History==
FTT was initially proposed in the 1990s as an attempt to unify findings from the memory and reasoning domains that could not be predicted or explained by earlier approaches to cognition and its development (e.g., constructivism〔name="The abstraction of linguistic ideas">〕 and information processing). One of such challenges was the statistical independence between memory and reasoning, that is, memory for background facts of problem situations is often unrelated to accuracy in reasoning tasks. Such findings called for a rethinking of the memory-reasoning relation, which in FTT took the form of a dual-process theory linking basic concepts from psycholinguistic and Gestalt theory to memory and reasoning. More specifically, FTT posits that people form two types of mental representations about a past event, called verbatim and gist traces. Gist traces are fuzzy representations of a past event (e.g., its bottom-line meaning), hence the name fuzzy-trace theory, whereas verbatim traces are detailed representations of a past event. Although people are capable of processing both verbatim and gist information, they prefer to reason with gist traces rather than verbatim. This implies, for example, that even if people are capable of understanding ratio concepts like probabilities and prevalence rates, which are the standard for the presentation of health- and risk-related data, their choice in decision situations will usually be governed by the bottom-line meaning of it (e.g., "the risk is high" or "the risk is low"; "the outcome is bad" or "the outcome is good") rather than the actual numbers.〔 More importantly, in FTT, memory-reasoning independence can be explained in terms of preferred modes of processing when one performs a memory task (e.g., retrieval of verbatim traces) relative to when one performs a reasoning task (e.g., preference for reasoning with gist traces).
In 1999, a similar approach was applied to human vision.〔Barghout - Stein, L., C. W. Tyler, and S. A. Klein. "Are local filtering and contour integration complementary visual process?." INVESTIGATIVE OPHTHALMOLOGY & VISUAL SCIENCE. Vol. 40. No. 4. 9650 ROCKVILLE PIKE, BETHESDA, MD 20814-3998 USA: ASSOC RESEARCH VISION OPHTHALMOLOGY INC, 1999.〕 It suggested that human vision has two types of processing: one that aggregates local spatial receptive fields, and one that parses the local receptive field. People used prior experience, Gists, to decide which process dominates a perceptual decision. The work attempted to link Gestalt theory and psychophysics (ie. independent linear filters). This theory was further developed into Fuzzy Image Processing 〔Barghout-Stein, Lauren. How Global Perceptual Context Changes Local Contrast Processing. Diss. University of California, Berkeley, 2003.〕〔Barghout, Lauren, and Lawrence W. Lee. "Perceptual information processing system."
