Recent evidence from animal research suggests that peak shift effects produced with complex pattern stimuli are influenced by the level of spatial variability over successive presentations of the stimuli. Initial attempts to explain this have relied on postulating a shift between elemental and configural representations supporting learning. Here we outline an elemental model based on contemporary associative theory that can accurately simulate this effect, and furthermore can do so without any built-in assumptions of dimensionality and without requiring some strategic shift from elemental to configural processing. Further evidence in support for the model is provided from a categorization experiment examining the effect of spatial variabili...
