Simultaneous learning of motion discrimination in two directions.

چکیده
We take issue with theories about the direction specificity in perceptual learning of motion discrimination. Trials of motion discrimination in two opposite directions were interleaved in uneven proportions (2:1). Human subjects improved faster in the direction with less frequent trials, indicating that learning transferred from the more frequent to the less frequent direction.

Perceptual learning in motion discrimination that generalizes across motion directions.
When human subjects discriminate motion directions of two visual stimuli, their discrimination improves with practice. This improved performance has been found to be specific to the practiced directions and does not transfer to new motion directions. Indeed, such stimulus-specific learning has become a trademark finding in almost all perceptual learning studies and has been used to infer the lo...
متن کاملMotion direction discrimination training reduces perceived motion repulsion.
Participants often exaggerate the perceived angular separation between two simultaneously presented motion stimuli, which is referred to as motion repulsion. The overestimation helps participants differentiate between the two superimposed motion directions, yet it causes the impairment of direction perception. Since direction perception can be refined through perceptual training, we here attemp...
متن کاملMotion perceptual learning: when only task-relevant information is learned.
The classic view that perceptual learning is information selective and goal directed has been challenged by recent findings showing that subthreshold and task-irrelevant information can induce perceptual learning. This study demonstrates a limit on task-irrelevant learning as exposure to suprathreshold task-irrelevant signals failed to induce perceptual learning. In each trial, two random-dot m...

متن کاملTask-dependent changes of the psychophysical motion-tuning functions in the course of perceptual learning.
In some cases, perceptual learning is task-specific. However, task-dependent effects of perceptual learning on psychophysical motion-tuning functions have yet to be clarified. In the present study, subjects performed motion detection or discrimination of the same stimulus over the course of four sessions held on separate days. Subjects who performed motion detection showed the most highly impro...
