Perceptual learning in visual search: Fast, enduring, but non-specific
Visual search has been suggested as a tool for isolating visual primitives. Elementary "features" were proposed to involve parallel search, while serial search is necessary for items without a "feature" status, or, in some cases, for conjunctions of "features". In this study, we investigated the role of practice in visual search tasks. We found that, under some circumstances, initially serial t...
متن کاملFast perceptual learning in visual hyperacuity.
In many different spatial discrimination tasks, such as in determining the sign of the offset in a vernier stimulus, the human visual system exhibits hyperacuity by evaluating spatial relations with the precision of a fraction of a photoreceptor's diameter. It is proposed that this impressive performance depends in part on a fast learning process that uses relatively few examples and that occur...
متن کاملPerceptual learning in visual search: Some evidence of specificities
To test a recent suggestion that perceptual learning in visual search is non-specific, two groups of subjects were trained on visual search tasks and tested for transfer of learning to new tasks. One group was trained on parallel ("pop-out") tasks and transferred to serial, conjunction tasks and the other group trained on conjunction and transferred to pop-out. Some (not all) tasks which are in...
متن کاملPerceptual Learning: Stimulus-Specific Learning from Low-Level Visual Plasticity?
A new study has found that changes in visual cortical processing account for behavioral perceptual learning, supporting the idea that stimulus-specific learning can result from low-level visual plasticity.
متن کاملPerceptual learning of highly demanding visual search tasks
Inefficient visual search can become efficient with practice [Vision Research 35 (1995) 2037; 40 (2000) 2925]. In this study, we wondered whether this improvement depends on unique visual features associated with the target, on differences in item-specific brightness distribution between target and distractors, or only on a change in the allocation of attention and thus global search strategy. ...
