Multisensory perception as an associative learning process
Suppose that you are at a live jazz show. The drummer begins a solo. You see the cymbal jolt and you hear the clang. But in addition seeing the cymbal jolt and hearing the clang, you are also aware that the jolt and the clang are part of the same event. Casey O'Callaghan (forthcoming) calls this awareness "intermodal feature binding awareness." Psychologists have long assumed that multimodal pe...
متن کاملCategorical congruence facilitates multisensory associative learning.
Learning about objects often requires making arbitrary associations among multisensory properties, such as the taste and appearance of a food or the face and voice of a person. However, the multisensory properties of individual objects usually are statistically constrained, such that some properties are more likely to co-occur than others, on the basis of their category. For example, male faces...
متن کاملVerbal and novel multisensory associative learning in adults
To date, few studies have focused on the behavioural differences between the learning of multisensory auditory-visual and intra-modal associations. More specifically, the relative benefits of novel auditory-visual and verbal-visual associations for learning have not been directly compared. In Experiment 1, 20 adult volunteers completed three paired associate learning tasks: non-verbal novel aud...
متن کاملMultisensory Associative-Pair Learning: Evidence for 'Unitization' as a specialized mechanism
Learning about objects typically involves the association of multisensory attributes. Here, we present three experiments supporting the existence of a specialized form of associative learning that depends on ‘unitization’. When multisensory pairs (e.g. faces and voices) were likely to both belong to a single object, learning was superior than when the pairs were not likely to belong to the same...
متن کاملA Reinforcement Learning Agent with Associative Perception
One of the most perspective ideas of further development of Reinforcement Learning (RL) research involves using associative learning models to improve performance of reinforcement learning agents. Learning Classifier Systems (LCS) have proved to be one of the most successful classes of RL methods that have been applied to maze environments. However, so far LCS have shown their effectiveness for...
