Beschreibung:
The primate visual system has the ability to learn many tasks that involve a large diversity of objects. I will discuss the role of several factors that constrain how such learning changes visual information processing, including visual features, computational processes, and task-related domain specificity. I will present evidence from studies that are designed to dissociate these factors. Some of these experiments focus upon stimuli that are chosen to circumvent the feature tuning in visual cortex, including auditory stimulation of visual cortex in congenital blindness and expertise in visual Braille reading. Together, the findings support a comprehensive view of object learning, acknowledging that the ways in which the visual system can change through learning are as diverse as the system itself.
