Interpreting ambiguous stimuli: Separating perceptual and judgmental biases
Interpreting ambiguous situations is not a purely data-driven process but can be biased towards positive interpretations by top-down influences. The present study tries to identify the underlying processes of these top-down influences. There are two separable types of processes that can be influenced by motivational biases: A perceptual bias affects information uptake whereas a judgmental bias ...
متن کاملPreexposure disrupts learning of location-contingent perceptual biases for ambiguous stimuli.
The perception of a bistable stimulus as one or the other interpretation can be biased by prior presentations of that stimulus. Such learning effects have been found to be long lasting even after small amounts of training. The effectiveness of training may be influenced by preexposure to the ambiguous stimulus. Here we investigate the role of preexposure for learning a position-dependent percep...
متن کاملIntermittent ambiguous stimuli: implicit memory causes periodic perceptual alternations.
When viewing a stimulus that has multiple plausible real-world interpretations, perception alternates between these interpretations every few seconds. Alternations can be halted by intermittently removing the stimulus from view. The same interpretation dominates over many successive presentations, and perception stabilizes. Here we study perception during long sessions of such intermittent pres...
متن کاملPerceptual Equivalence of Two Kinds of Ambiguous Speech Stimuli
Stimuli from two synthetic Ida/-/gal continua were presented in a speeded labeling task. One continuum was generated by parameter interpolation; the other, by adding the waveforms of the endpoint stimuli in varying proportions. Both continua showed an increase in latencies at the category boundary, suggesting that the two procedures yield equally ambiguous stimuli. Ambiguous stimuli play a cent...
متن کاملPerceptual memory drives learning of retinotopic biases for bistable stimuli
The visual system exploits past experience at multiple timescales to resolve perceptual ambiguity in the retinal image. For example, perception of a bistable stimulus can be biased toward one interpretation over another when preceded by a brief presentation of a disambiguated version of the stimulus (positive priming) or through intermittent presentations of the ambiguous stimulus (stabilizatio...
