Perceptual experience and posttest improvements in perceptual accuracy and consistency

Prenatal Perceptual Experience and Postnatal Perceptual Preferences: Evidence for Attentional-Bias in Perceptual Learning

Perceptual Experience And Its Contents

The contents of perceptual experience, it has been argued, often include a characteristic “non-conceptual” component (Evans, 1982). Rejecting such views, McDowell (1994) claims that such contents are conceptual in every respect. It will be shown that this debate is compromised by the failure of both sides to mark a further, and crucial, distinction in cognitive space. This is the distinction be...

Perceptual Texture Space Improves Perceptual Consistency of Computational Features

Perceptual consistency is important in many computer vision applications. Unfortunately, except for color, computational features and similarity measurements for other visual features are not necessarily consistent with human's perception. This paper addresses three critical issues regarding perceptually consistent texture analysis: (1) development of perceptual texture space, (2) assessment of...

Realism and the Nature of Perceptual Experience

Realism concerning a given domain of things is the view that the things in that domain exist, and are as they are, quite independently of anyone’s thought or experience of them. The realism which I am concerned with here is empirical realism, that is, realism concerning empirical things, which are the ordinary persisting things presented to us in our perception of the world around us. Empirical...

The particularity and phenomenology of perceptual experience

I argue that any account of perceptual experience should satisfy the following two desiderata. First, it should account for the particularity of perceptual experience, that is, it should account for the mind-independent object of an experience making a difference to individuating the experience. Second, it should explain the possibility that perceptual relations to distinct environments could y...
