Traditional theories of associative learning have found no place
for the possibility that an individual's perception of events might
change as a result of experience. Evidence for the reality of
perceptual learning has come from procedures unlike those studied
by learning theorists. The work reviewed in this book shows that
learned changes in perceptual organization can in fact be
demonstrated, even in experiments using procedures (such as
conditioning and simple discrimination learning) which form the
basis of associative theories. These results come from procedures
that have been the focus of detailed theoretical and empirical
analysis; and from this analysis emerges an outline of the
mechanisms responsible. Some of these are associative, others
require the addition of nonassociative mechanisms to the
traditional theory. The result is an extended version of
associative theory which, it is argued, will be relevant not only
to the experimental procedures discussed in this book but to the
entire range of instances of perceptual learning. For psychologists
interested in the basic mechanisms of conditioning, perception, and
learning, this volume provides an up-to-date, critical review of
the field.
