Stimulus discriminability may bias value-based probabilistic learning
Reinforcement learning tasks are often used to assess participants' tendency to learn more from the positive or more from the negative consequences of one's action. However, this assessment often requires comparison in learning performance across different task conditions, which may differ in the relative salience or discriminability of the stimuli associated with more and less rewarding outcom...
متن کاملReaction time as a function of perceptual bias, response bias, and stimulus discriminability.
The effects of stimulus discriminability, stimulus frequency, and response frequency were examined in a choice reaction time (RT) task. Two levels of response frequency ratio (i.e., one of two responses occurred two or five times as often as the other) were combined with three levels of stimulus configuration. Configuration was defined by the spatial distance between three stimulus lights. Perc...
متن کاملLawful relation between perceptual bias and discriminability.
Perception of a stimulus can be characterized by two fundamental psychophysical measures: how well the stimulus can be discriminated from similar ones (discrimination threshold) and how strongly the perceived stimulus value deviates on average from the true stimulus value (perceptual bias). We demonstrate that perceptual bias and discriminability, as functions of the stimulus value, follow a su...
متن کاملProbabilistic Evaluating of Bias for Learning Systems
A method for using probabilistic background knowledge to select features for representing learned concepts is described. The method uses a model of the tradeo between accuracy (predictiveness) and simplicity (size) of hypothesis spaces. Preliminary results of using various biases for a learning task in a randomized test domain are discussed.
متن کاملMarginally subcritical dynamics explain enhanced stimulus discriminability under attention
Recent experimental and theoretical work has established the hypothesis that cortical neurons operate close to a critical state which describes a phase transition from chaotic to ordered dynamics. Critical dynamics are suggested to optimize several aspects of neuronal information processing. However, although critical dynamics have been demonstrated in recordings of spontaneously active cortica...
