- "Perceptual learning is learning better perception skills such as differentiating two musical tones from one another or categorizations of spatial and temporal patterns relevant to real-world expertise."
Perceptual learning refers to the process through which individuals improve their ability to interpret and make sense of sensory information over time, leading to increased accuracy and efficiency in perception.
Visual perception: The process by which the brain interprets and organizes visual information.
Auditory perception: The process by which the brain interprets and organizes auditory information.
Attention: The ability to selectively focus on specific sensory stimuli while ignoring others.
Top-down processing: The use of prior knowledge and expectations to guide perception.
Bottom-up processing: The process of analyzing sensory information from the environment.
Stimulus features: Characteristics of a sensory stimulus, such as orientation, color, and frequency.
Sensory adaptation: The process by which the sensory system adjusts to constant or repetitive stimuli.
Perceptual constancy: The tendency for the brain to perceive objects as being stable and unchanging, despite changes in their sensory input.
Perceptual learning: The process by which the brain modifies its perception of stimuli through experience and practice.
Thresholds: The minimum level of sensory stimulation required for a person to detect a stimulus.
Signal detection theory: The mathematical model used to predict the likelihood of detecting a stimulus amid background noise.
Parallel processing: The ability of the brain to simultaneously process multiple sources of sensory information.
Gestalt principles: The principles that describe how the brain organizes sensory information into meaningful patterns.
Illusions: Perceptual distortions that occur when the brain misinterprets sensory information.
Neural processing: The process by which sensory information is transmitted and processed by neurons in the brain.
Discrimination learning: The ability to discriminate between different stimuli, such as sounds or visual patterns, that are similar in nature.
Texture discrimination/learning: The ability to perceive and distinguish different textures (e.g., rough vs. smooth).
Shape discrimination/learning: The ability to distinguish different shapes of objects (e.g., circles vs. squares).
Orientation discrimination/learning: The ability to distinguish between different orientations of an object in space (e.g., vertical vs. horizontal).
Motion perception/learning: The ability to perceive and distinguish the direction and speed of moving objects.
Face perception/learning: The ability to recognize and remember faces and facial expressions.
Audio-visual integration/learning: The ability to integrate information received from both auditory and visual modalities to form a complete perceptual experience.
Object recognition/learning: The ability to recognize and classify objects based on perceptual features such as color, shape, and texture.
Speech perception/learning: The ability to recognize and distinguish speech sounds and phonemes in a language.
Attentional learning: The ability to attend to specific features and cues to enhance perception and learning.
