Informational feedback accelerates learning in multi-alternative perceptual judgements of orientation.

ABSTRACT: Experience or training can substantially improve perceptual performance through perceptual learning, and the extent and rate of these improvements may be affected by feedback. In this paper, we first developed a neural network model based on the integrated reweighting theory (Dosher et al., 2013) to account for perceptual learning and performance in n-alternative identification tasks and the dependence of learning on different forms of feedback. We then report an experiment comparing the effectiveness of response feedback (RF) versus accuracy feedback (AF) or no feedback (NF) (full versus partial versus no supervision) in learning a challenging eight-alternative visual orientation identification (8AFC) task. Although learning sometimes occurred in the absence of feedback (NF), RF had a cle
