A Recurrent Connectionist Model of Person Impression Formation

Frank Van Overwalle

Department of Psychology Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium

Christophe Labiouse

Major findings in impression formation are reviewed and modeled from a connectionist perspective. The findings are in the areas of primacy and recency in impression formation, asymmetric diagnosticity of ability-and morality-related traits, increased recall for trait-inconsistent information, assimilation and contrast in priming, and discounting of trait inferences by situational information. The majority of these phenomena are illustrated with well-known experiments and simulated with an autoassociative network architecture with linear activation update and using the delta learning algorithm for adjusting the connection weights. All of the simulations successfully reproduced the empirical findings. Moreover the proposed model is shown to be consistent with earlier algebraic models of impression formation (Anderson, 1981; Busemeyer 1991; Hogarth & Einhorn, 1992). The discussion centers on how our model compares to other connectionist approaches to impression formation and how it may contribute to a more parsimonious and unified theory of person perception.
