From metaphor to theory: the role of resonance in perceptual learning

Open access
Raja, Vicente·2019·Adaptive Behavior

Abstract

Unlike dominant cognitivist theories that take perceptual learning to be a process of enriching sensory stimulation with previous knowledge, ecological psychologists take it to be an enhancement in the detection of already rich perceptual information. The difference between beginners and experts is that the latter detect better information to support their task goals. While the study of perceptual learning in terms of perceptual information and perceiver–environment interactions is common in the ecological literature, ecological psychology still lacks a story regarding the way perceptual information is detected by perceptual systems and the plasticity of such detection in learning events. In this article, I propose the ecological notion of resonance—along with biophysical resonance, non-linear resonance, and metastability—as a plausible foundation to account for the process of detection of perceptual information both in perceptual events and in events of perceptual learning.

  • These frameworks suggest that the temporal dynamics of neural activity may reflect ongoing engagement with the environment rather than sequential updating of internal models.

    “They also suggest that the temporal dynamics of neural activity may reflect ongoing engagement with the environment rather than sequential updating of internal models (Kiverstein and Rietveld 2018; Raja 2019).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
