The curriculum effect in visual learning: the role of readout dimensionality

2025-09-20

Abstract excerpt

Generalization of visual perceptual learning (VPL) to unseen conditions varies across tasks. Previous work suggests that training curriculum may be integral to generalization, yet a theoretical explanation is lacking. We propose an explanatory theory of visual learning generalization and curriculum effects by leveraging an artificial neural network (ANN) model of VPL in comparison with humans. We found that easy-t...
