Orientation Transfer in Vernier and Stereoacuity Training.
Human performance on various visual tasks can be improved substantially via training. However, the enhancements are frequently specific to relatively low-level stimulus dimensions. While such specificity has often been thought to be indicative of a low-level neural locus of learning, recent research suggests that these same effects can be accounted for by changes in higher-level areas--in parti...
متن کاملOrientation anisotropy in vernier acuity
An oblique effect is evident in vernier acuity for abutting lines. In Experiment 1 we show that the oblique effect in vernier acuity exists over a range of contrast levels, and is evident even when the horizontal and oblique lines are equally detectable or discriminable. Since this oblique effect cannot be explained by the lower visibility of oblique vernier lines or of the "dipole" cue, it is ...
متن کاملOrientation specificity of learning vernier discriminations
Orientation selective neurons in the primary visual cortex typically respond to a range of orientations that covers 20 degrees or more, while in psychophysical experiments, orientation bandwidth is often clearly narrower. Here, we measure the orientation specificity of perceptual learning for vernier discriminations. More than 70 observers, in separate groups, practiced a vernier discrimination...
متن کاملNeural fine tuning during Vernier acuity training?
A superposition masking and summation to threshold paradigm was employed before and after unmasked Vernier acuity training to measure sensory changes of offset analysing mechanisms. Masking functions show a uniform downward translation after training and detection data reveal higher sensitivities to compound Gabor gratings in the post-test. These findings confirm the existence of learning relat...
متن کاملSpecificity of learning curvature, orientation, and vernier discriminations
Training significantly improves the performance of many perceptual tasks. Different visual tasks share some "front-end" neuronal mechanisms but rely (partly) on different neuronal mechanisms for further analysis. Perceptual learning might occur on the early common levels of visual information processing or else on the later, more specialized levels. Eighteen observers trained in three visual hy...
