Perceptual Grouping Enhances Visual Plasticity
Visual perceptual learning, a manifestation of neural plasticity, refers to improvements in performance on a visual task achieved by training. Attention is known to play an important role in perceptual learning, given that the observer's discriminative ability improves only for those stimulus feature that are attended. However, the distribution of attention can be severely constrained by percep...
متن کاملPerceptual Grouping and Visual Enumeration
We used lateralized Event-Related Potential (ERP) measures - the N2pc and CDA/SPCN components - to assess the role of grouping by target similarity during enumeration. Participants saw a variable number (0, 1, 2 or 3) of same- or differently-colored targets presented among homogeneous distracters, and performed an enumeration task. Results showed that the N2pc, but not the CDA, was larger for m...
متن کاملInhibition in time-based visual selection: Strategic or by default?
The visual marking mechanism (Watson & Humphreys, 1997) allows new objects to be prioritized by applying top-down inhibition to a set of previewed distractors, increasing the efficiency of future visual search. However, if this inhibition results in little or no search facilitation, do people continue to apply it or do they strategically withhold it? Here we present 6 experiments in which we ex...
متن کاملRegularity-based Perceptual Grouping
This paper investigates perceptual grouping from a logical point of view, defining a grouping interpretation as a particular kind of logical expression, and then developing an explicit inference theory in terms of such expressions. First, a regularity-based interpretation language is presented, in which an observed configuration is characterized in terms of the regularities (special configurati...
متن کاملHow visual perceptual grouping influences foot placement
Everybody would agree that vision guides locomotion; but how does vision influence choice when there are different solutions for possible foot placement? We addressed this question by investigating the impact of perceptual grouping on foot placement in humans. Participants performed a stepping stone task in which pathways consisted of target stones in a spatially regular path of foot falls and ...
