View from the Top Hierarchies and Reverse Hierarchies in the Visual System
- S. Hochstein, M. Ahissar
- Psychology, Medicine
- Neuron
- 5 December 2002
We propose that explicit vision advances in reverse hierarchical direction, as shown for perceptual learning. Processing along the feedforward hierarchy of areas, leading to increasingly complex… Expand
The reverse hierarchy theory of visual perceptual learning
- M. Ahissar, S. Hochstein
- Psychology, Medicine
- Trends in Cognitive Sciences
- 1 October 2004
Perceptual learning can be defined as practice-induced improvement in the ability to perform specific perceptual tasks. We previously proposed the Reverse Hierarchy Theory as a unifying concept that… Expand

Task difficulty and the specificity of perceptual learning
- M. Ahissar, S. Hochstein
- Physics, Medicine
- Nature
- 22 May 1997
Practising simple visual tasks leads to a dramatic improvement in performing them. This learning is specific to the stimuli used for training. We show here that the degree of specificity depends on… Expand
Attentional control of early perceptual learning.
- M. Ahissar, S. Hochstein
- Psychology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences…
- 15 June 1993
The performance of adult humans in simple visual tasks improves dramatically with practice. This improvement is highly specific to basic attributes of the trained stimulus, suggesting that the… Expand
Encoding of sound-source location and movement: activity of single neurons and interactions between adjacent neurons in the monkey auditory cortex.
- M. Ahissar, E. Ahissar, H. Bergman, E. Vaadia
- Psychology, Medicine
- Journal of neurophysiology
- 1992
1. Neuronal mechanisms for decoding sound azimuth and angular movement were studied by recordings of several single units in parallel in the core areas of the auditory cortex of the macaque monkey.… Expand
Reverse hierarchies and sensory learning
- M. Ahissar, M. Nahum, I. Nelken, S. Hochstein
- Psychology, Medicine
- Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B…
- 12 February 2009
Revealing the relationships between perceptual representations in the brain and mechanisms of adult perceptual learning is of great importance, potentially leading to significantly improved training… Expand
Dyslexia and the failure to form a perceptual anchor
- M. Ahissar, Yedida Lubin, Hanna Putter-Katz, K. Banai
- Psychology, Medicine
- Nature Neuroscience
- 19 November 2006
In a large subgroup of dyslexic individuals (D-LDs), reading difficulties are part of a broader learning and language disability. Recent studies indicate that D-LDs perform poorly in many… Expand
Learning Pop-out Detection: Specificities to Stimulus Characteristics
- M. Ahissar, S. Hochstein
- Psychology, Medicine
- Vision Research
- 1 November 1996
Training induces dramatic improvement in the performance of pop-out detection. In this study, we examined the specificities of this improvement to stimulus characteristics. We found that learning is… Expand
Auditory processing parallels reading abilities in adults.
- M. Ahissar, Athanassios Protopapas, M. Reid, M. Merzenich
- Psychology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences…
- 6 June 2000
A broad battery of psychoacoustic measures and standard measures of reading and spelling were applied to 102 adults. The test group included individuals with a childhood history of reading… Expand
