Lawful relation between perceptual bias and discriminability.
Perception of a stimulus can be characterized by two fundamental psychophysical measures: how well the stimulus can be discriminated from similar ones (discrimination threshold) and how strongly the perceived stimulus value deviates on average from the true stimulus value (perceptual bias). We demonstrate that perceptual bias and discriminability, as functions of the stimulus value, follow a su...
متن کاملPerceptual Organization and Lawful Specification.
When a listener can also see a talker, audible and visible properties are ineluctably combined, perceptually. This perceptual disposition to audiovisual integration has received widely ranging explanations. At one extreme, accounts have likened perception to a blind listener and a deaf viewer combined within a single skin, resolving discrepancies in identification by each modality. At the other...
متن کاملReaction time as a function of perceptual bias, response bias, and stimulus discriminability.
The effects of stimulus discriminability, stimulus frequency, and response frequency were examined in a choice reaction time (RT) task. Two levels of response frequency ratio (i.e., one of two responses occurred two or five times as often as the other) were combined with three levels of stimulus configuration. Configuration was defined by the spatial distance between three stimulus lights. Perc...
متن کاملA new two-alternative forced choice method for the unbiased characterization of perceptual bias and discriminability.
Perception is often biased by secondary stimulus attributes (e.g., stimulus noise, attention, or spatial context). A correct quantitative characterization of perceptual bias is essential for testing hypotheses about the underlying perceptual mechanisms and computations. We demonstrate that the standard two-alternative forced choice (2AFC) method can lead to incorrect estimates of perceptual bia...
متن کاملCategory discriminability, base-rate, and payoff effects in perceptual categorization.
The optimality of perceptual categorization performance under manipulations of category discriminability (i.e., d' level), base rates, and payoffs was examined. Base-rate and payoff manipulations across two category discriminabilities allowed a test of the hypothesis that the steepness of the objective reward function affects performance (i.e., the flat-maxima hypothesis), as well as the hypoth...
