Learning-induced uncertainty reduction in perceptual decisions is task-dependent
Perceptual decision-making in which decisions are reached primarily from extracting and evaluating sensory information requires close interactions between the sensory system and decision-related networks in the brain. Uncertainty pervades every aspect of this process and can be considered related to either the stimulus signal or decision criterion. Here, we investigated the learning-induced red...
متن کاملTask-dependent uncertainty modulation of perceptual decisions in the human brain.
Perceptual judgments are frequently made during uncertain situations. Previous human brain imaging studies have revealed multiple cortical and subcortical areas that are activated when decision uncertainty is linked to outcome probability. However, the neural mechanisms of uncertainty modulation in different perceptual decision tasks have not been systematically investigated. Uncertainty of per...
متن کاملUncertainty in fast task-irrelevant perceptual learning boosts learning of images in women but not men.
A key tenet of models of reinforcement learning is that learning is most desirable in the times of maximum uncertainty. Here we examine the role of uncertainty in the paradigm of fast task-irrelevant perceptual learning (fast-TIPL), where stimuli that are consistently presented at relevant points in times (e.g., with task targets or rewards) are better encoded than when presented at other times...
متن کاملPerceptual selectivity is task dependent: evidence from selective search.
Four visual search experiments examined the allocation of attention in a multi-item display with a salient stimulus difference. If, irrespective of its relevance to performance, an item with a unique property attracts attention, it can be said that the unique property automatically captures attention. Alternatively, if capturing attention depends on the relevance of the unique property it would...
متن کاملStimulus uncertainty in auditory perceptual learning
Stimulus uncertainty produced by variations in a target stimulus to be detected or discriminated, impedes perceptual learning under some, but not all experimental conditions. To account for those discrepancies, it has been proposed that uncertainty is detrimental to learning when the interleaved stimuli or tasks are similar to each other but not when they are sufficiently distinct, or when it o...
