Although impaired auditory-phonological processing is the most popular explanation of developmental dyslexia (DD), literature shows that combination several causes rather than a single factor contributes to DD. Functioning visual magnocellular-dorsal (MD) pathway, which plays key role in motion perception, much debated, but heavily suspected contributing Here, we employ comprehensive approach incorporates all accepted methods required test relationship between MD pathway dysfunction and The...
Studies of perceptual learning have largely focused on unisensory stimuli. However, multisensory interactions are ubiquitous in perception, even at early processing stages, and thus can potentially play a role learning. Here, we examine the effect auditory-visual congruency visual learning.Subjects were trained over five days motion coherence detection task with either congruent audiovisual, or incongruent audiovisual Comparing performance visual-only trials, find that training stimuli...
Recent theories propose that schizophrenia/schizotypy and autistic spectrum disorder are related to impairments in Bayesian inference is, how the brain integrates sensory information (likelihoods) with prior knowledge. However existing accounts fail clarify: (i) proposed differ of ASD vs. schizophrenia (ii) whether result from weaker priors or enhanced likelihoods. Here, we directly address these issues by characterizing 91 healthy participants, scored for schizotypal traits, implicitly...
Understanding visual perceptual learning (VPL) has become increasingly more challenging as new phenomena are discovered with novel stimuli and training paradigms. Although existing models aid our knowledge of critical aspects VPL, the connections shown by these between behavioral plasticity across different brain areas typically superficial. Most explain VPL readout from simple representations to decision not easily adaptable findings. Here, we show that a well -known instance deep neural...
Multisensory perception has been the focus of intense investigation in recent years. It is now well-established that crossmodal interactions are ubiquitous perceptual processing and endow system with improved precision, accuracy, speed, etc. While these findings have shed much light on principles mechanisms perception, ultimately it not very surprising multiple sources information provides benefits performance compared to a single source information. Here, we argue more those showing...
Can we create engaging training programs that improve working memory (WM) skills? While there are numerous procedures attempt to do so, is a great deal of controversy regarding their efficacy. Nonetheless, recent meta-analytic evidence shows consistent improvements across studies on lab-based tasks generalizing beyond the specific effects (Au et al., 2014; Karbach and Verhaeghen, 2014), however, little research into how WM aids participants in daily life. Here propose incorporating design...
Video game play has become a pervasive part of American culture. The dramatic increase in the popularity video games resulted significant interest effects that gaming may have on brain and behavior. scientific research to date indicates some, but not all, commercial do indeed potential cause large-scale changes wide variety aspects human behavior, including focus this review—cognitive abilities. More recent years seen rise separate form games, so-called “brain games,” or designed with...
