Abstract

This proposal investigates feedback-driven perceptual learning. We test whether trial-by-trial accuracy feedback enhances threshold sensitivity on a Gabor contour integration task in healthy adults. Convergent validity of this task with the Leuven Perceptual Organization Screening Test will be examined. Findings have implications for assessment and rehabilitation in perceptual disorders.
