Perceptual learning increases orientation sampling efficiency.
Visual orientation discrimination is known to improve with extensive training, but the mechanisms underlying this behavioral benefit remain poorly understood. Here, we examine the possibility that more reliable task performance could arise in part because observers learn to sample information from a larger portion of the stimulus. We used a variant of the classification image method in combinat...
متن کاملPerceptual learning retunes the perceptual template in foveal orientation identification.
What is learned during perceptual learning? We address this question by analyzing how perceptual inefficiencies improve over the course of perceptual learning (Dosher & Lu, 1998). Systematic measurements of human performance as a function of both the amount of external noise added to the signal stimulus and the length of training received by the observers enable us to track changes of the chara...
متن کاملPerceptual learning on orientation and direction discrimination
Two experiments were conducted to determine the extent to which perceptual learning transfers between orientation and direction discrimination. Naive observers were trained to discriminate orientation differences between two single-line stimuli, and direction differences between two single-moving-dot stimuli. In the first experiment, observers practiced the orientation and direction tasks along...
متن کاملPractice increases the efficiency of evidence accumulation in perceptual choice.
Most models of choice response time base decisions on evidence accumulated over time. A fundamental distinction among these models concerns whether each piece of evidence is equally weighted (lossless accumulation) or unequally weighted (leaky accumulation). The authors tested a hypothesis derived from A. Heathcote and S. Brown's (2002) self-exciting expert competitor (SEEXC) model of skill acq...
متن کاملReplicated sampling increases efficiency in monitoring biological populations.
Observation or sampling error in population monitoring can cause serious degradation of the inferences, such as estimates of trend or risk, that ecologists and managers frequently seek to make with time-series observations of population abundances. We show that replicating the sampling process can considerably improve the information obtained from population monitoring. At each sampling time th...
