It is widely believed that feedback improves behavior, but the mechanisms behind this
improvement remain unclear. Different theories postulate that feedback has either a direct …

It remains under debate whether the fusiform visual word form area (VWFA) is specific to
visual word form and whether visual expertise increases its sensitivity (Xue et al., 2006; …

Rationale: Recent advances in the learning sciences offer remarkable potential for
improving medical learning and performance. Difficult to teach pattern recognition skills can …

In the present study, we examined whether perceptual learning methods can be used to
improve performance of older individuals. Subjects performed a texture discrimination task …

Training or exposure to a visual feature leads to a long‐term improvement in performance
on visual tasks that employ this feature. Such performance improvements and the processes …

Perceptual learning, a process in which training improves visual discrimination, is often
specific to the trained retinal location, and this location specificity is frequently regarded as …

In studies of perceptual learning (PL), subjects are typically highly trained across many
sessions to achieve perceptual benefits on the stimuli in those tasks. There is currently …

It has recently been demonstrated how perceptual learning, that is an improvement in a
sensory/perceptual task upon practice, can be boosted by concurrent high-frequency …

Learning in educational settings most often emphasizes declarative and procedural
knowledge. Studies of expertise, however, point to other, equally important components of …

Studies of perceptual learning have revealed a great deal of plasticity in adult humans. In
this study, we systematically investigated the effects and mechanisms of several forms (trial …
