Human and Machine Learning in Non-Markovian Decision Making

Michael Herzog, Aaron Michael Clarke, Elisa Tartaglia, Silvia Marchesotti, Walter Senn

Humans can learn under a wide variety of feedback conditions. Reinforcement learning (RL), where a series of rewarded decisions must be made, is a particularly important type of learning. Computational and behavioral studies of RL have focused mainly on Ma ...

Visual crowding illustrates the inadequacy of local vs. global and feedforward vs. feedback distinctions in modeling visual perception

Michael Herzog, Gregory Francis, Aaron Michael Clarke

Experimentalists tend to classify models of visual perception as being either local or global, and involving either feedforward or feedback processing. We argue that these distinctions are not as helpful as they might appear, and we illustrate these issues ...

Is there a common factor for vision?

Michael Herzog, Christine Mohr, Aaron Michael Clarke

In cognition, common factors play a crucial role. For example, different types of intelligence are highly correlated, pointing to a common factor, which is often called g. One might expect that a similar common factor would also exist for vision. Surprisin ...

Why vision is not both hierarchical and feedforward

Michael Herzog, Aaron Michael Clarke

In classical models of object recognition, first, basic features (e.g., edges and lines) are analyzed by independent filters that mimic the receptive field profiles of V1 neurons. In a feedforward fashion, the outputs of these filters are fed to filters at ...

Deleterious effects of roving on learned tasks

Michael Herzog, Lukasz Grzeczkowski, Aaron Michael Clarke, Fred Mast

In typical perceptual learning experiments, one stimulus type (e.g., a bisection stimulus offset either to the left or right) is presented per trial. In roving, two different stimulus types (e.g., a 30' and a 20' wide bisection stimulus) are randomly inter ...

Crowding, grouping, timing

Michael Herzog, Aaron Michael Clarke, Mauro Manassi, Vitaly Chicherov

In crowding, target perception is deteriorated by flanking elements. For example, when a vernier is flanked by two lines of the same length, vernier offset discrimination strongly deteriorates. Interestingly, changing the color of the flankers can reduce c ...

Trait anxiety and post-learning stress do not affect perceptual learning

Michael Herzog, Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Carl Kristoffer Aberg, Aaron Michael Clarke

While it is well established that stress can modulate declarative learning, very few studies have investigated the influence of stress on non-declarative learning. Here, we studied the influence of post-learning stress, which effectively modulates declarat ...
