The repetition discrimination task: an objective method for studying perceptual grouping.
Five experiments are reported that demonstrate the use of the repetition discrimination task (RDT) to study perceptual grouping effects objectively and quantitatively. Experiments 1 and 3 validate the method by measuring grouping based on proximity, color similarity, common region, and element connectedness. Experiment 2 compares the RDT effects for proximity grouping to explicit subjective rat...
متن کاملPerceptual learning for a pattern discrimination task
Our goal was to differentiate low and mid level perceptual learning. We used a complex grating discrimination task that required observers to combine information across wide ranges of spatial frequency and orientation. Stimuli were 'wicker'-like textures containing two orthogonal signal components of 3 and 9 c/deg. Observers discriminated a 15% spatial frequency shift in these components. Stimu...
متن کاملTemporal specificity of perceptual learning in an auditory discrimination task.
Although temporal processing is used in a wide range of sensory and motor tasks, there is little evidence as to whether a single centralized clock or a distributed system underlies timing in the range of tens to hundreds of milliseconds. We investigated this question by studying whether learning on an auditory interval discrimination task generalizes across stimulus types, intervals, and freque...
متن کاملThe effects of study-task relevance on perceptual repetition priming.
Repetition priming is easily elicited in many traditional paradigms, and the possibility that perceptual priming may be other than an automatic consequence of perception has received little consideration. This issue is explored in two experiments. In Experiment 1, participants named the target from a four-item category search study task more quickly than the nontarget study items at a later nam...
متن کاملPerceptual grouping via spatial selection in a focused-attention task
Theories of attention can be separated into those that select by location, and those that select by location-invariant representation. Experiments demonstrating stronger interference or facilitation from distractors grouped by nonspatial features with the target than ungrouped distractors have been considered as evidence for the selection of location-invariant representations. However, few stud...
