Simultaneous learning of motion discrimination in two directions

Liu Z, Vaina LM.

Abstract

We take issue with theories about the direction specificity in perceptual learning of motion discrimination. Trials of motion discrimination in two opposite directions were interleaved in uneven proportions (2:1). Human subjects improved faster in the direction with less frequent trials, indicating that learning transferred from the more frequent to the less frequent direction.
