Visual perceptual learning (VPL) is typically specific to the trained location and feature.
However, the degree of specificity depends upon particular training protocols. Manipulating …

Experience and training have been shown to facilitate our ability to extract and discriminate
meaningful patterns from cluttered environments. Yet, the human brain mechanisms that …

The human ability to introspect on thoughts, perceptions or actions− metacognitive ability−
has become a focal topic of both cognitive basic and clinical research. At the same time it …

Translating noisy sensory signals to perceptual decisions is critical for successful
interactions in complex environments. Learning is known to improve perceptual judgments …

Training can lead to long-lasting improvement in our perceptual ability, which is referred to
as perceptual learning. Unraveling its neural mechanisms has proved difficult. With …

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 …

Dichoptic training is designed to promote binocular vision in patients with amblyopia. Initial
studies have found that the training effects transfer to both binocular (stereopsis) and …

Location-specific perceptual learning can be rendered transferrable to a new location with
double training, in which feature training (eg, contrast) is accompanied by additional location …

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 …

The capability of the adult primate visual system for rapid and accurate recognition of targets
in cluttered, natural scenes far surpasses the abilities of state-of-the-art artificial vision …
