Pattern Recognition and Noncommutativity in Decision Making

Abstract

Psychological and sociological studies have shown that the order of questions affects the likelihood of obtaining final answers. We studied the influence of image presentation on the efficiency of pattern recognition using the Gollin test. It was found that the correctness/incorrectness of the answer to the first presented image with a larger contour filling affected the subsequent probability of recognizing an image with less contour filling. A qualitative comparison of the obtained results with a quantum-like model and neural network model of pattern recognition in the additional learning mode was also carried out.
