Top-down engagement modulates the neural expressions of visual expertise.
Perceptual expertise is traditionally associated with enhanced brain activity in response to objects of expertise in category-selective visual cortex, primarily face-selective regions. We reevaluated this view by investigating whether the brain activity associated with expertise in object recognition is limited to category-selective cortex and specifically whether the extent of expertise-relate...
متن کاملTop-down guidance in visual search for facial expressions.
Using a visual search paradigm, we investigated how a top-down goal modified attentional bias for threatening facial expressions. In two experiments, participants searched for a facial expression either based on stimulus characteristics or a top-down goal. In Experiment 1 participants searched for a discrepant facial expression in a homogenous crowd of faces. Consistent with previous research, ...
متن کاملthe impact of explicit instruction of top-down reading strategies on reading comprehension of intermediate efl learners
this study investigated (a) the learners’ existing reading strategy repertoire, (b) the effect of instruction in reading strategies on learners’ strategic performance, and (c) the effect of explicit instruction in top-down reading strategies on reading comprehension ability of intermediate learners. the study was conducted with 40 intermediate efl learners in two groups of experimental and cont...
Neural representation of visual objects: encoding and top-down activation.
Knowledge or experiences are voluntarily recalled from memory by reactivation of their neural representations in the association cortex. Mnemonic representations of visual objects, located in the ventral processing stream of visual perception, provide the best indication of how neuronal codes are created, organized and reactivated. Associative codes are created by neurons that have the ability ...
متن کاملNeural Mechanisms of Top-down Selection during Visual Search
The brain’s representation of visual information depends greatly on the behavioral relevance of the viewed stimuli. While in some instances behavioral significance is derived from conspicuity, in many situations significance depends on top-down factors such as the viewer’s goals and knowledge. Studies combining neural recordings and behavioral observations have begun to elucidate how the brain ...
