The role of feedback in perceptual learning is probed in an orientation discrimination experiment under destabilizing non-stationary conditions, and explored in a neural-network model. Experimentally, perceptual learning was examined with periodic alteration of a strong external noise context. The speed of learning, the performance loss at each change in external noise context (switch cost), and the asymptotic accuracy d' without feedback were very similar or identical to those with feedback. However, lack of feedback led to higher decision bias (error responses matching the external noise context). In the model, the stimulus representations are constant, whereas the read-out connections to a decision unit learn by a Hebbian plasticity rule that may be augmented by additional feedback input and criterion control of decision bias.

Emotional distress appears to be a component of the medical screening process for 9/11 Public Safety Workers. A significant number of Public Safety Workers have found the anticipation of the medical examination process and actual examination to trigger reexperiencing and problems of emotional regulation. Selective Case examples are presented to illustrate how Public Safety Workers might be better prepared for this process.
