This article presents a review of research comparing the effectiveness of individual learning
environments with collaborative learning environments. In reviewing the literature, it was …

Experience-dependent plasticity is a prominent feature of the mammalian visual cortex.
Although such neural changes are most evident during development, adult cortical circuits …

The brain9s ability to bind incoming auditory and visual stimuli depends critically on the
temporal structure of this information. Specifically, there exists a temporal window of …

Multiple stimuli present in the visual field at the same time compete for neural representation
by mutually suppressing their evoked activity throughout visual cortex, providing a neural …

Maintaining the strong pedagogy, abundant student-friendly examples, and engaging
conversational style of the previous editions, the sixth edition of this introductory textbook …

A striking example of the constructive nature of visual perception is how the human visual
system completes contours of occluded objects. To date, it is unclear whether perceptual …

Psychometric functions are often interpreted in the context of Signal Detection Theory, which
emphasizes a distinction between sensory processing and non-sensory decision rules in the …

Illusory contours (IC) have attracted a considerable interest in recent years to derive models
of how sensory information is processed and integrated within the visual system. In addition …

The distinction between top-down and bottom-up effects plays a central role in experimental
psychology. But there is a problem with the way it is standardly drawn. Even if there were a …

Learning continues beyond the end of training. Post-training learning is supported by
changes in plasticity and stability in the brain during both wakefulness and sleep. However …
