Critical Learning Periods in Deep Neural Networks (2017, background): “Although the inversion of the visual ﬁeld has not been systematically tested on young animals (or humans), it is well-reported that adult humans can quickly adapt to it (25, 26), suggesting the absence of a critical period.”
Affordances and Independent Mobility in the Assessment of Environmental Child Friendliness (2003, background): “32 For example, in Kohler’s (1964) famous experiment, in which the participants wore prism lenses that made the world appear reversed (right was left and vice versa), riding a bicycle – navigation of movements – was easy after 18 days, but text on street signs still appeared in mirror image; in othe”
Autopoiesis, Adaptivity, Teleology, Agency (2005, background): “Thus it is possible to understand, for instance, how human vision can adapt to wearing bi-coloured or prismatic goggles (Kohler, 1964), a kind of sensorimotor disruption that cannot conceivably be thought of as placing the organism in any direct metabolic risk.”
Evolutionary Robotics: A New Scientific Tool for Studying Cognition (2005, background): “When experimental subjects wear distorting goggles that, for example, reverse left and right or reverse top and bottom in the visual field, then after days and weeks of continual use they begin to adapt to these unusual circumstances [22, 23].”
The effect of experienced limb identity upon adaptation to simulated displacement of the visual field (1972, background): “Much interest has centered in recent years on the capacity of human beings to adapt both motorically and visually to an optically rearranged visual field (e.g., Held & Freedman, 1963; Kohler, 1964; Harris, 1965).”
Enactive artificial intelligence: Investigating the systemic organization of life and mind (2009, background): “A particularly famous example is the eventual adaptation of human subjects to the wearing of visual distortion goggles (e.g. Kohler 1964).”
Autonomy and Enactivism: Towards a Theory of Sensorimotor Autonomous Agency (2017, background): “This can happen due, for instance, to the presence of visual inversion goggles (Kohler 1964), the maladaptive assimilation of tools that disrupts a habitual task, the skilful recovery of performance after a breakdown, the successful accommodation to a prosthesis, etc.”
