Perceive-decide-act, perceive-decide-act: how abstract is repetition-related decision learning?

29 Apr 2009 Recent encounters with a stimulus often facilitate or "prime" future responses to the same or similar stimuli. However, studies are inconclusive as to whether changing the response that is required attenuates priming only for identical stimuli, or ... Read more...

Rotational object discrimination by pigeons.

30 Mar 2009 Four experiments examined the discrimination of directional object motion by pigeons. Four pigeons were tested in a go/no-go procedure with video stimuli of pigeons rotating right or left around their central y-axis. This directional discrimination ... Read more...

Learning to ignore: acquisition of sustained attentional suppression.

30 Mar 2009 We examined whether the selection mechanisms committed to the suppression of ignored stimuli can be modified by experience to produce a sustained, rather than transient, change in behavior. Subjects repeatedly ignored the shape of stimuli, while ... Read more...
