explore whether attentional modulation of spatial frequency processing at early stages of visual analysis may be responsible. In three experiments, we find that observers perception of spatial frequency (SF) band-limited scene stimuli is determined by the SF content of images previously experienced at that location during a sensitisation phase. We conclude that these findings are consistent with the involvement of relatively early, retinotopically mapped, stages of visual analysis, supporting the attentional modulation of spatial frequency channels account of sensitisation effects.

The effects could be inherited, learned, or both. The authors provide evidence that supports the possibility of learned categorical perception (CP). Experiment 1 demonstrated that observers' color discrimination is flexible and improves through repeated practice. Experiment 2 demonstrated that category learning simulates effects of "natural" color categories on color discrimination. Experiment 3 investigated the time course of acquired CP. Experiment 4 found that CP effects are acquired through hue- and lightness-based category learning and obtained interesting data on the dimensional perception of color. The data are consistent with the possibility that language may shape color perception and suggest a plausible mechanism for the linguistic relativity hypothesis.
