Context and Crowding in Perceptual Learning on a Peripheral Contrast Discrimination Task: Context-Specificity in Contrast Learning
Perceptual learning is an improvement in sensitivity due to practice on a sensory task and is generally specific to the trained stimuli and/or tasks. The present study investigated the effect of stimulus configuration and crowding on perceptual learning in contrast discrimination in peripheral vision, and the effect of perceptual training on crowding in this task. 29 normally-sighted observers ...
متن کاملContrast discrimination with and without spatial uncertainty
The main purpose of these experiments was to examine in detail how successfully the uncertainty reduction explanation accounts for the effects of spatial cues in a temporal forced-choice contrast discrimination task in which any one of four well-separated Gabor patches is incremented. In preliminary experiments, it was shown that in the absence of uncorrelated contrast jitter, observers could u...
متن کاملThe effects of surround contrast on contrast thresholds, perceived contrast and contrast discrimination
Perceived contrast, contrast detection thresholds and contrast discrimination thresholds were measured in the presence and absence of surrounding patterns of a similar spatio-temporal makeup. In the foveal retina we found that the perceived contrast of the central pattern was reduced by the presence of the contrast surrounds with the effect being greatest at low test contrast. Detection thresho...
متن کاملContrast-dependent orientation discrimination in the mouse
As an important animal model to study the relationship between behaviour and neural activity, the mouse is able to perform a variety of visual tasks, such as orientation discrimination and contrast detection. However, it is not clear how stimulus contrast influences the performance of orientation discrimination in mice. In this study, we used two task designs, two-alternative forced choice (2AF...
متن کاملContrast discrimination in noise.
Even the highest contrast sensitivities that humans can achieve for the detection of targets on uniform fields fall far short of ideal values. Recent theoretical formulations have attributed departures from ideal performance to two factors--the existence of internal noise within the observer and suboptimal stimulus information sampling by the observer. It has been postulated that the contributi...
