Bistability for audiovisual stimuli: Perceptual decision is modality specific.
Ambiguous stimuli can produce spontaneous perceptual alternations in the mind of the observer, even though the stimulus itself remains the same. Common features in the temporal dynamics of bistability have been observed for various types of stimuli, both visual and auditory. This raises the question of whether bistable perception results from stereotyped, local competition between stimulus-spec...
متن کاملPerceptual learning is specific beyond vision and decision making.
Perceptual learning is usually assumed to occur within sensory areas or when sensory evidence is mapped onto decisions. Subsequent procedural and motor processes, involved in most perceptual learning experiments, are thought to play no role in the learning process. Here, we show that this is not the case. Observers trained with a standard three-line bisection task and indicated the offset direc...
متن کاملArithmetic Memory Is Modality Specific.
In regards to numerical cognition and working memory, it is an open question as to whether numbers are stored into and retrieved from a central abstract representation or from separate notation-specific representations. This study seeks to help answer this by utilizing the numeral modality effect (NME) in three experiments to explore how numbers are processed by the human brain. The participant...
متن کاملVagueness, Ambiguity and Perceptual Bistability
1. Introduction. While vagueness and ambiguity have been opposed in the semantic domain (vagueness is often described as meaning underdetermination, ambiguity as meaning overdetermi-nation, see Fine 1975; moreover, vagueness is fundamentally a property of concepts, ambiguity a property of stimuli or expressions), Raffman has made the suggestion that within soritical series, borderline cases typ...
متن کاملInvolvement of human left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in perceptual decision making is independent of response modality.
Perceptual decision making typically entails the processing of sensory signals, the formation of a decision, and the planning and execution of a motor response. Although recent studies in monkeys and humans have revealed possible neural mechanisms for perceptual decision making, much less is known about how the decision is subsequently transformed into a motor action and whether or not the deci...
