Perceptual learning depends on perceptual constancy.
Perceptual learning refers to experience-induced improvements in the pick-up of information. Perceptual constancy describes the fact that, despite variable sensory input, perceptual representations typically correspond to stable properties of objects. Here, we show evidence of a strong link between perceptual learning and perceptual constancy: Perceptual learning depends on constancy-based perc...
متن کاملPerceptual Constancy
Our eyes deceive us when we look down railway tracks, but our brains do not. The rails appear to converge in the distance, but we know that the rails are parallel. We know that they are the same distance apart a mile down the track as they are where we are standing, so the brain says, “The tracks only appear to converge because they are distant.” But how does the brian know that the tracks are ...
متن کاملThe basis of perceptual constancy and perceptual illusion.
A wide range of perceptual illusions, including many of size, orientation, and movement, can be explained in terms of the mechanisms which normally initiate and maintain perceptual constancy. Perceptual constancy is the relative stability of the apparent value of object properties (size, shape, orientation, movement, etc.) when the representation at the eye (retinal image) is variant with chang...
متن کاملUnconscious orientation processing depends on perceptual load.
The effects of perceptual load on the level of adaptation to task-irrelevant and invisible oriented gratings were examined. Participants performed a task at fixation under conditions of low (detecting color targets) or high (detecting conjunctions of color and shape) perceptual load. Simultaneously, a task-irrelevant-oriented grating was presented monocularly in a more peripheral location but w...
متن کاملOn Perceptual Learning
A fundamental concern in Psychology is the extent to which we learn to perceive our world and, further, the degree to which perception remains modif"Iable even in adulthood. Yet despite the significance of these concerns, perceptual learning has been somewhat sporadically studied, and often only at a phenomenal level. This thesis proposes a new theoretical framework for perceptual learning, and...
