知觉学习的研究已经揭示了成年人的可塑性。在这项研究中，我们系统地研究了几种形式（一次又一次的尝试，块和会话奖励）和水平（无，低，高，阈下）的金钱奖励的知觉学习的速度，幅度和概括性的影响和机制。我们发现，高的金钱奖励可以大大提高学习的速度和幅度，并提高在未经训练的空间频率和眼睛的性能，而不改变眼间，interlocation和interdirection传输指标。高奖励本身通过改善内部噪音降低对增强学习做出了独特的贡献。此外，高奖励对知觉学习的影响发生在一系列知觉任务中。这些结果对于理解感知学习中学习规则的本质以及在实际应用中使用奖励来增强感知学习具有重要意义。
Studies of perceptual learning have revealed a great deal of plasticity in adult humans. In this study, we systematically investigated the effects and mechanisms of several forms (trial-by-trial, block, and session rewards) and levels (no, low, high, subliminal) of monetary reward on the rate, magnitude, and generalizability of perceptual learning. We found that high monetary reward can greatly promote the rate and boost the magnitude of learning and enhance performance in untrained spatial frequencies and eye without changing interocular, interlocation, and interdirection transfer indices. High reward per se made unique contributions to the enhanced learning through improved internal noise reduction. Furthermore, the effects of high reward on perceptual learning occurred in a range of perceptual tasks. The results may have major implications for the understanding of the nature of the learning rule in perceptual learning and for the use of reward to enhance perceptual learning in practical applications.
