Adaptable history biases in human perceptual decisions.
When making choices under conditions of perceptual uncertainty, past experience can play a vital role. However, it can also lead to biases that worsen decisions. Consistent with previous observations, we found that human choices are influenced by the success or failure of past choices even in a standard two-alternative detection task, where choice history is irrelevant. The typical bias was one...
متن کاملResponse repetition biases in human perceptual decisions are explained by activity decay in competitive attractor models
Animals and humans have a tendency to repeat recent choices, a phenomenon known as choice hysteresis. The mechanism for this choice bias remains unclear. Using an established, biophysically informed model of a competitive attractor network for decision making, we found that decaying tail activity from the previous trial caused choice hysteresis, especially during difficult trials, and accuratel...
متن کاملPerceptual Biases in Consonant Deletion
We demonstrate that adult English speakers make use of perceptual principles in medial consonant cluster deletion. Cross-linguistically, consonant cluster simplification via deletion is more likely apply to the first consonant rather than the second consonant (if both consonants are of equal sonority). Adult native English speakers, were given a two-alternative forced-choice task in which eithe...
متن کاملDelayed Perceptual Awareness in Rapid Perceptual Decisions
The flourishing of studies on the neural correlates of decision-making calls for an appraisal of the relation between perceptual decisions and conscious perception. By exploiting the long integration time of noisy motion stimuli, and by forcing human observers to make difficult speeded decisions--sometimes a blind guess--about stimulus direction, we traced the temporal buildup of motion discrim...
متن کاملAdaptive shape coding for perceptual decisions in the human brain.
In its search for neural codes, the field of visual neuroscience has uncovered neural representations that reflect the structure of stimuli of variable complexity from simple features to object categories. However, accumulating evidence suggests an adaptive neural code that is dynamically shaped by experience to support flexible and efficient perceptual decisions. Here, we review work showing t...
