Orientation discrimination learning and the effect of bottom-up stimulation of the transfer orientation on learning transfer.

(a) The baseline. Training was conducted at one orientation and the transfer of learning was tested at an orthogonal orientation to reveal orientation specificity. (b) CFS configurations for …

Figure 1—source data 1

The first data sheet summarizes the mean and individual data presented in figure panels 1a, 1d, 1e, and 1f.

The other data sheets contain raw staircase data for 1a, 1d, 1e, and 1f.
