Reducing backward masking through action game training.
Action video game play enhances basic visual skills such as crowding acuity and contrast sensitivity (C. S. Green & D. Bavelier, 2007; R. Li, U. Polat, W. Makous, & D. Bavelier, 2009). Here, we ask whether the dynamics of perception may also be altered as a result of playing action games. A backward masking paradigm was used to test the hypothesis that action video game play also alters the tem...
متن کاملSimilarity effects in backward recognition masking.
Auditory backward recognition masking refers to the ability of a masking sound to terminate further perceptual resolution of a test sound presented slightly earlier in time. The present experiments were conducted to determine whether mask/test tone similarity effects in backward recognition masking could be reliably demonstrated. Although similarity effects were found in Experiments 1 and 2, on...
متن کاملA model of visual backward masking.
When two successive stimuli are presented within 0-200 ms intervals, the recognition of the first stimulus (the target) can be impaired by the second (the mask). This backward masking phenomenon has a form called metacontrast masking where the target and the mask are in close spatial proximity but not overlapping. In that case, the masking effect is strongest for interval of 60-100 ms. To under...
متن کاملBackward masking and the central performance drop
Kehrer [Spatial Vision 2 (1987) 247] found that texture discrimination performance sometimes peaks in the parafovea rather than at the fovea, and he referred to this phenomenon as the central performance drop (CPD). Kehrer used a backward mask to limit performance and Morikawa [Vision Res. 40 (2000) 3517] argued that in some cases the temporal aspects of the backward mask may be critical to the...
متن کاملSpatial processing and visual backward masking
Most theories of visual masking focus prima-rily on the temporal aspects of visual information processing, strongly neglecting spatial factors. In recent years, however, we have shown that this position is not tenable. Spatial aspects cannot be neglected in metacontrast, pattern and un-masking. Here, we review these results.
