Autonomic responses to perceptual learning of visual search

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Perceptual learning refers to the improvement of perceptual sensitivity and performance with training. In this study, we examined whether a learning process is accompanied by a release from the dependence of performance on mental effort, leading to an automatization of the task. For the purpose, subjects conducted a visual search task in which the target was defined by a relative motion while skin conductance level (SCL) was monitored. We found that SCL increased as the learning proceeded, and decreased at the end of the learning process. Positive correlation between SCL and behavioral performance was found at the last phase of learning. This result does not support the simple automatization hypothesis, and suggests that the distribution of an attentional effort by the visual system became more effective by a perceptual learning.
