“…Our results suggest that manipulating the relevance of a percept in an ambiguous motion stimulus by means of an auxiliary task does not affect its subsequent perception. This is in contrast to previous findings (Chopin & Mamassian, 2011;Feigin et al, 2017;Harrison & Backus, 2010).…”

“…Harrison and Backus (2010) manipulated perceptual bias in rotating Necker cubes and showed that contextual information can bias subsequent perception of an ambiguous stimulus. Similarly, Feigin, Baror, Bar, and Zaidel (2017) found that previous behavioral relevance has a key role in biasing future perception. These findings suggest that higher level processes, such as auxiliary task relevance, can affect mid-level perception.…”

Does task relevance shape the ‘shift to global' in ambiguous motion perception?

Perception can differ even when the stimulus information is the same. Previous studies have demonstrated the importance of experience and relevance on visual perception. We examined the influence of perceptual relevance in an auxiliary task on subsequent perception of an ambiguous stimulus. Observers were presented with an ambiguous motion stimulus that could either be perceived as rotating dot pairs (''local'') or pulsating geometrical figures (''global''). Prolonged perception of this stimulus is characterized by a ''shift to global'', but it remained unclear whether this process is due to relevance of the global percept or mere exposure to the stimulus. During a relevance learning phase over 5 successive days, participants were divided into conditions determining the relevant percept in an auxiliary task: local, global, or none (active exposure). In a pre-and posttest, individual points of subjective equality between local and global percepts were measured. Results indicate that there is indeed a shift to global. Interestingly, auxiliary task relevance does not seem to modify this process.

5Perception can differ even when the stimulus information is the same. Previous studies have 6 demonstrated the importance of experience and relevance on visual perception. We examined the 7 influence of perceptual relevance in an auxiliary task on subsequent perception of an ambiguous 8 stimulus. Observers were presented with an ambiguous motion stimulus that could either be perceived 9 as rotating dot-pairs ('local') or pulsating geometrical figures ('global'). Prolonged perception of this 10 stimulus is characterized by a 'shift to global', but it remained unclear whether this process is due to 11 relevance of the global percept or mere exposure to the stimulus. During a learning phase over five 12 successive days, participants were divided into conditions determining the relevant percept in an 13 auxiliary task: local, global, or none (active exposure). In a pre-and post-test, individual points of 14 subjective equality between 'local' and 'global' percepts were measured. Results indicate that there is 15 indeed a 'shift to global'. Interestingly, auxiliary task relevance does not seem to modify this process. 16
