Visual perceptual learning modulates microsaccade rate and directionality

SC Hung, A Barbot, M Carrasco - Scientific reports, 2023 - nature.com
Microsaccades, incessant “fixational eye movements”(< 1°), are an important window into
cognitive functions. Yet, its role in visual perceptual learning (VPL)–improvements in visual …

Perceptual learning across saccades: Feature but not location specific

L Grzeczkowski, Z Shi, M Rolfs… - Proceedings of the …, 2023 - National Acad Sciences
Perceptual learning is the ability to enhance perception through practice. The hallmark of
perceptual learning is its specificity for the trained location and stimulus features, such as …

The development of upright face perception depends on evolved orientation-specific mechanisms and experience

B Duchaine, C Rezlescu, L Garrido, Y Zhang… - Iscience, 2023 - cell.com
Here we examine whether our impressive ability to perceive upright faces arises from
evolved orientation-specific mechanisms, our extensive experience with upright faces, or …

[HTML][HTML] Informational feedback accelerates learning in multi-alternative perceptual judgements of orientation

J Liu, ZL Lu, B Dosher - Vision Research, 2023 - Elsevier
Experience or training can substantially improve perceptual performance through perceptual
learning, and the extent and rate of these improvements may be affected by feedback. In this …

Modulating temporal dynamics of performance across retinotopic locations enhances the generalization of perceptual learning

T Kondat, M Aderka, N Censor - Iscience, 2023 - cell.com
Human visual perception can be improved through perceptual learning. However, such
learning is often specific to stimulus and learning conditions. Here, we explored how …

Context-based modulations of 3D vision are expertise dependent

Z Li, DHF Chang - Cerebral Cortex, 2023 - academic.oup.com
An object's identity can influence depth-position judgments. The mechanistic underpinnings
underlying this phenomenon are largely unknown. Here, we asked whether context …

Empirical validation of QUEST+ in PSE and JND estimations in visual discrimination tasks

A Paire, A Hillairet de Boisferon, C Paeye - Behavior Research Methods, 2023 - Springer
One of the most precise methods to establish psychometric functions and estimate threshold
and slope parameters is the constant stimuli procedure. The large distribution of …

Perceptual learning changes the amplitude not the shape of the temporal window of visual processing.

L Lin, X Ruan, R Liu, J Zhu, W Zhang… - Journal of …, 2023 - psycnet.apa.org
Perceptual learning (PL) can significantly improve human performance in perceptual tasks
primarily through template reweighting. Previous studies have documented how PL changes …

From intermediate shape-centered representations to the perception of oriented shapes: response to commentaries
