To evaluate the effects of perceptual learning on contrast-sensitivity function and visual
acuity in adult observers with amblyopia, 23 anisometropic amblyopes with a mean age of …

We compared perceptual learning in 16 psychophysical studies, ranging from low-level
spatial frequency and orientation discrimination tasks to high-level object and face …

Highlights•Perceptual Learning research has identified numerous processes that change
with learning.•Identified mechanisms of Perceptual Learning are not mutually …

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 …

We consider perceptual learning: experience-induced changes in the way perceivers extract
information. Often neglected in scientific accounts of learning and in instruction, perceptual …

Damage to the adult, primary visual cortex (V1) causes severe visual impairment that was
previously thought to be permanent, yet several visual pathways survive V1 damage …

The ability to discriminate between similar sensory stimuli relies on the amount of
information encoded in sensory neuronal populations. Such information can be substantially …

What are the mechanisms of spatial attention underlying precue validity effects? We answer
this question within the framework of a perceptual template model (PTM)[Lu & Dosher …

Improvements in performance on visual tasks due to practice are often specific to a retinal
position or stimulus feature. Many researchers suggest that specific perceptual learning …

Metacognitive efficiency quantifies people's ability to introspect into their own decision
making relative to their ability to perform the primary task. Despite years of research, it is still …
