Contrast adaptation improves spatial integration
2021, Vision ResearchCitation Excerpt :Interestingly, for the observer who initially did not improve in the Wilson & Humanski (1993) experiment, increasing the stimulus spatial frequency, which allowed for more spatial integration, resulted in some discrimination enhancement with a high base contrast. Barlow et al. (1976), using grating stimuli, found that adaptation had no effect on contrast discrimination at high base contrasts. However, Barlow measured discrimination either by using vertically split-field contrasts, which required only local discrimination around the vertical central line, or by detecting the point in time when a change in contrast occurred, which can be viewed as a change-detection task.
The effect of perceptual contour orientation uncertainty on the tilt aftereffect
2019, Vision ResearchCitation Excerpt :Contrast discrimination, for example, has sometimes been found to improve after adaptation (Abbonizio, Langley, & Clifford, 1998; Greenlee & Heitger, 1988), and sometimes it has been found to remain unchanged (Maatanen & Koenderink, 1991; Ross, Speed, & Morgan, 1993). Orientation discrimination likewise has been shown to improve (Regan & Beverley, 1985), remain unchanged (Barlow, Macleod, & van Meeteren, 1976), or worsen (Clifford, Wyatt, Arnold, Smith, & Wenderoth, 2001) following adaptation (for a review, see Clifford, 2002). In the present experiments, positive TAEs indicated that, following adaptation, there was a bias in orientation judgments away from the true orientation, while an increase in sigma indicated that orientation discrimination worsened.
