Motor learning occurs over long periods of practice during which motor acuity, the ability to
execute actions more accurately, precisely, and in less time, improves. Laboratory-based …

The visual system develops abnormally when visual input is absent or degraded during a
critical period early in life. Restoration of the visual input later in life is generally thought to …

Training can improve performance of perceptual tasks. This phenomenon, known as
perceptual learning, is strongest for the trained task and stimulus, leading to a widely …

Recovery from sensory deprivation is slow and incomplete in adult visual cortex. In this
study, we show that visual stimulation during locomotion, which increases the gain of visual …

Damage to the primary visual cortex (V1) or its immediate afferents results in a dense
scotoma, termed cortical blindness (CB). CB subjects have residual visual abilities, or …

Repeated performance of visual tasks leads to long-lasting increased sensitivity to the
trained stimulus, a phenomenon termed perceptual learning. A ubiquitous property of visual …

This paper summarizes the multidisciplinary pediatric assessment methods of 3 European
centers for identifying and assessing cerebral visual impairment in childhood. It describes a …

Understanding visual perceptual learning (VPL) has become increasingly more challenging
as new phenomena are discovered with novel stimuli and training paradigms. Although …

Handwriting instruction commonly involves the practice of non-linguistic writing-like patterns.
Here, we compare the transfer to Arabic sentence-writing of different practice scheduling of …

Experts from wine tasters to radiologists to bird watchers have all undergone perceptual
learning-long-term changes in perception that result from practice or experience …
