Abstract
Dog experts, ornithologists, radiologists and other specialists are
noted for their remarkable abilities at categorizing, identifying
and recognizing objects within their domain of expertise. A complete
understanding of the development of perceptual expertise requires
a combination of thorough empirical research and carefully articulated
computational theories that formalize specific hypotheses about the
acquisition of expertise. A comprehensive computational theory of
the development of perceptual expertise remains elusive, but we can
look to existing computational models from the object-recognition,
perceptual-categorization, automaticity and related literatures for
possible starting points. Arguably, hypotheses about the development
of perceptual expertise should first be explored within the context
of existing computational models of visual object understanding before
considering the creation of highly modularized adaptations for particular
domains of perceptual expertise.
