Visual perceptual learning through practice or training can significantly improve
performance on visual tasks. Originally seen as a manifestation of plasticity in the primary …

Visual perceptual learning (VPL) is long-term performance increase resulting from visual
perceptual experience. Task-relevant VPL of a feature results from training of a task on the …

The visual expertise of adult humans is jointly determined by evolution, visual development
and visual perceptual learning. Perceptual learning refers to performance improvements in …

The study of human learning is complicated by the myriad of processing elements involved
in conducting any behavioral task. In the case of visual perceptual learning, there has been …

The mechanisms of perceptual learning are analyzed theoretically, probed in an orientation-
discrimination experiment involving a novel nonstationary context manipulation, and …

External noise methods and observer models have been widely used to characterize the
intrinsic perceptual limitations of human observers and changes of the perceptual limitations …

Perceptual learning often shows substantial and long-lasting changes in the ability to
classify relevant perceptual stimuli due to practice. Specificity to trained stimuli and tasks is a …

Task-irrelevant perceptual learning (TIPL) has captured a growing interest in the field of
perceptual learning. The basic phenomenon is that stimulus features that are irrelevant to a …

Plasticity of vision mediated through binocular interactions has been reported in mammals
only during a “critical” period in juvenile life, wherein monocular deprivation (MD) causes an …

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 …
