[visionlist] March 15 EPA Special Symposium on Perceptual Learning

[Shigeaki Nishina]

The Eastern Psychological Association would like to invite your  
attendance to a special symposium  at our annual meeting this year in  
Boston.


PERCEPTIONS OF PERCEPTUAL LEARNING

Researchers from both animal learning and human vision will each  
present their own perspective of what is "perceptual learning" through  
a discussion of their research. The goal is not only to appreciate how  
the topic is viewed in other areas, but also identify common and  
distinct themes that will increase the depth of our understanding of  
the subject.

Each speaker listed below will have a 30-minute presentation.

Theories of Perceptual Learning
Nicholas Mackintosh (Cambridge University)

Perceptual Learning studied by means of visual psychophysics and  
physiology
Takeo Watanabe (Boston University)

Perceptual Learning: An Animal Model and its Application to Humans
Geoffery Hall (University of York)

Perceptual Learning and Representational Learning
Jozsef Fiser (Brandeis University)

Discussant: Chris Mitchell (University of New South Wales)

The symposium will be on Saturday, March 15, from 9:30 to 12:20 at the  
Boston Park Plaza hotel and the registration fee is $45.   For  
information, please visit our website www.easternpsychological.org or  
contact the Program Committee Chair at JamesByron.Nelson at ehu.es
