Cross-task perceptual learning of object recognition in simulated retinal implant perception

Perceptual learning in object recognition: object specificity and size invariance

A series of four experiments measured the transfer of perceptual learning in object recognition. Subjects viewed backward-masked, gray-scale images of common objects and practiced an object naming task for multiple days. In Experiment 1, recognition thresholds decreased on average by over 20% over 5 days of training but increased reliably following the transfer to a new set of objects. This sug...

Task and object learning in visual recognition

Human performance in object recognition changes with practice, even in the absence of feedback to the subject. The nature of the change can reveal important properties of the process of recognition. We report an experiment designed to distinguish between non-specific task learning and object-specific practice effects. The results of the experiment support the notion that learning through modifi...

Perceptual learning of object shape.

Recognition of objects is accomplished through the use of cues that depend on internal representations of familiar shapes. We used a paradigm of perceptual learning during visual search to explore what features human observers use to identify objects. Human subjects were trained to search for a target object embedded in an array of distractors, until their performance improved from near-chance ...
