Modeling Perceptual Expertise

چکیده
To have one’s hunches about how a simple combination of processes will behave repeated dashed by one’s own computer program is a humbling experience that no experimental psychologist should miss. Surprises are likely when the model has properties that are inherently difficult to understand, such as variability, parallelism, and nonlinearity—all, undoubtedly, properties of the brain. Hintzman, 1990

Computational approaches to the development of perceptual expertise.
Dog experts, ornithologists, radiologists and other specialists are noted for their remarkable abilities at categorizing, identifying and recognizing objects within their domain of expertise. A complete understanding of the development of perceptual expertise requires a combination of thorough empirical research and carefully articulated computational theories that formalize specific hypotheses...
متن کاملTo the Trained Eye: Perceptual Expertise Alters Visual Processing
Perceptual expertise refers to learning that is specific to a domain, that transfers to new items within the trained domain, and that leads to automatic processing in the sense that expertise effects can be measured across a variety of tasks. It can be argued that most of us possess some degree of perceptual expertise in a least one, if not several domains, thereby giving the study of perceptua...
متن کاملInteraction between perceptual and cognitive processing well acknowledged in perceptual expertise research
To understand the neural correlates of expert object recognition, Harel et al. (2013) proposed the use of an existing theoretical framework (Mahon et al., 2007; Martin, 2007) that emphasizes the interaction between different parts of the visual pathway as well as between the visual and other cognitive systems. While we agree that focusing more on the role of these interactions in expertise acqu...
متن کاملStudying real-world perceptual expertise
Significant insights into visual cognition have come from studying real-world perceptual expertise. Many have previously reviewed empirical findings and theoretical developments from this work. Here we instead provide a brief perspective on approaches, considerations, and challenges to studying real-world perceptual expertise. We discuss factors like choosing to use real-world versus artificial...
متن کاملDomain-specific reports of visual imagery vividness are not related to perceptual expertise.
Just as people vary in their perceptual expertise with a given domain, they also vary in their abilities to imagine objects. Visual imagery and perception share common mechanisms. However, it is unclear whether domain-specific expertise is relevant to visual imagery. Although the vividness of visual imagery is typically measured as a domain-general construct, a component of this vividness may b...
