How we see what is new: The role of attention and object attributes in visual memory search
This dissertation aims to better understand the factors that influence visual memory recognition, with a focus on the role of object categories in memory search. Around this central theme, the experimental work is divided into three chapters.
-
Investigating the Learning Mechanisms of Visual Statistical Learning
Overall, the findings suggest that statistical learning may be error-driven, but further research is needed to determine the precise metrics of uniqueness that drive it.
-
Perceptual decision correlates in the motor system
In our daily lives, we constantly make both motoric and non-motoric decisions. These decisions depend on external information from our environment and internal information about our goals and prior assumptions.
