3b , there was a significant trend towards increased dynamic MAE through the pre-test day to the 3 rd training day ( t (14) = 2.43, p = 0.029, linear trend analysis), hinting that attention might be a not-to-be-ignored factor contributing the changes in perceptual aftereffects in repeated adaptation.
However, the transfer of learning effects to the control condition diminished (immediate TEAE: 42%, slope of decay function: 4.1%), and failed to reach statistical significance (immediate TEAE: t (19) = 1.55, p = 0.14, slope of decay function: t (19) = 0.08, p = 0.94).
When attention is directed to the random-dot adapter by a demanding task, the dynamic MAE shows a slightly increasing trend in the first few days followed by a gradual decrease over the remainder of training days.
