Does Perceptual Learning Suffer from Retrograde Interference?
نویسندگان
چکیده
In motor learning, training a task B can disrupt improvements of performance of a previously learned task A, indicating that learning needs consolidation. An influential study suggested that this is the case also for visual perceptual learning. Using the same paradigm, we failed to reproduce these results. Further experiments with bisection stimuli also showed no retrograde disruption from task B on task A. Hence, for the tasks tested here, perceptual learning does not suffer from retrograde interference.

Retrograde Interference in Perceptual Learning of a Peripheral Hyperacuity Task
Consolidation, a process that stabilizes memory trace after initial acquisition, has been studied for over a century. A number of studies have shown that a skill or memory must be consolidated after acquisition so that it becomes resistant to interference from new information. Previous research found that training on a peripheral 3-dot hyperacuity task could retrogradely interfere with earlier ...
متن کاملAsymmetric interference in 3- to 4-month-olds' sequential category learning
Threeto 4-month-old infants show asymmetric exclusivity in the acquisition of cat and dog perceptual categories. The cat perceptual category excludes dog exemplars, but the dog perceptual category does not exclude cat exemplars. We describe a connectionist autoencoder model of perceptual categorization that shows the same asymmetries as infants. The model predicts the presence of asymmetric ret...
متن کاملA Computational Model of Auditory Perceptual Learning: Predicting Learning Interference Across Multiple Tasks
In this work we build a computational model of several auditory perceptual learning experiments. The modeled experiments show a pattern of learning interference which may help shed light on the structure of both short and long term stores of perceptual memory. It is our hypothesis that the observed interference patterns can be explained by the relationship of stimuli across tasks and how these ...
متن کاملFrequent Video Game Players Resist Perceptual Interference
Playing certain types of video games for a long time can improve a wide range of mental processes, from visual acuity to cognitive control. Frequent gamers have also displayed generalized improvements in perceptual learning. In the Texture Discrimination Task (TDT), a widely used perceptual learning paradigm, participants report the orientation of a target embedded in a field of lines and demon...
متن کاملConsolidated learning can be susceptible to gradually-developing interference in prolonged motor learning
When multiple items are learned in sequential order, learning for one item tends to be disrupted by subsequently learned items. Such retrograde interference has been studied with paradigms conducted over a relatively short term. Resistance to interference is generally believed to be a measure of learning or consolidation. Here, we used a finger-tapping motor sequence paradigm to examine interfe...
