The phrase "activate the representation of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to technology, data visualization, or cognitive processes where one is discussing the initiation of a mental or digital model.
Example: "To better understand the data, we need to activate the representation of the user interactions within the software."
Alternatives: "initiate the depiction of" or "trigger the visualization of".
However, if it is assumed that during generalization training, the presentation of a stimulus activates the representation of the response, which becomes associated with the new response, then association-formation models can explain generalization on the basis of common consequences (Wills et al. 2006).
Specifically, the auditory pseudowords may have activated the representations of phonologically similar words, which in turn (automatically) activated their corresponding orthographic word representations.
Thus, both the central and peripheral stimuli used here activate the central representation of V6 (Fig. 8, left column of left and middle sections), and only the most peripheral part of V6 (>40 deg eccentricity) will survive a center peripheral comparison (right column of middle section).
The first phase activated the neural representation of truth.
One hypothesis is that affective priming works because affective polarized prime stimuli pre-activate the memory representation of affectively related targets [e.g., [ 56- 58]].
Given the different roles of the two scripts, we can ask whether, for example, a hiragana version of a katakana word would activate the abstract form representation of that word just as quickly as presenting the word in its typical script.
As described above, our study differs from [20] in that in addition to script typicality, we varied form frequency (or familiarity), with the goal of assessing whether the atypically presented stimuli would nevertheless elicit an early effect of form familiarity, suggesting that they directly activate the abstract form representation of the word.
However, if the representations of the two locations were not sufficiently separated, presentation of the new and the repeated close locations would activate the same representation in memory and would thus not be distinguishable.
In the case of the control of imitation (e.g., Brass et al. 2001), the 2 representations are motor representations, for example: as a result of task instructions, I intend to lift my index finger, and activate the motor representation for index finger lifting; but the sight of someone else lifting their middle finger activates the motor representation for middle finger lifting.
If sameness of sound is the crucial factor, then the hiragana stimulus should immediately and directly activate the abstract form representation of the word.
According to this view (S-S theory), associations are formed between internal representation of the CS and that of the US, and the growth of this association permits the CS to activate a representation of the US in the absence of the US itself.
