Task-irrelevant emotion facilitates face discrimination learning
We understand poorly how the ability to discriminate faces from one another is shaped by visual experience. The purpose of the present study is to determine whether face discrimination learning can be facilitated by facial emotions. To answer this question, we used a task-irrelevant perceptual learning paradigm because it closely mimics the learning processes that, in daily life, occur without ...
متن کاملSound Facilitates Visual Learning
Numerous studies show that practice can result in performance improvements on low-level visual perceptual tasks [1-5]. However, such learning is characteristically difficult and slow, requiring many days of training [6-8]. Here, we show that a multisensory audiovisual training procedure facilitates visual learning and results in significantly faster learning than unisensory visual training. We ...
متن کاملTask Attention Facilitates Learning of Task-Irrelevant Stimuli
Attention plays a fundamental role in visual learning and memory. One highly established principle of visual attention is that the harder a central task is, the more attentional resources are used to perform the task and the smaller amount of attention is allocated to peripheral processing because of limited attention capacity. Here we show that this principle holds true in a dual-task setting ...
متن کاملSensory cancellation of self-movement facilitates visual motion detection.
The nervous system continuously predicts the sensory consequences of self-generated actions. These predictions can be used to cancel self-generated sensory information. It has been hypothesized that this cancellation process may serve to increase the perceptual sensitivity to unpredicted external events. Here, we provide the first empirical evidence for this idea. Participants were required to ...
متن کاملTask-irrelevant stimulus salience affects visual search
The relative contributions of stimulus salience and task-related goals in guiding attention remain an issue of debate. Several studies have demonstrated that top-down factors play an important role, as they often override capture by salient irrelevant objects. However, Yantis and Egeth [Yantis, S., & Egeth, H. E. (1999). On the distinction between visual salience and stimulus-driven attentional...
