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

Human perceptual learning, experience-induced gains in sensory discrimination, typically
yields long-term performance improvements. Recent research revealed long-lasting transfer …

The brain is continuously modified by perceptual experience throughout life. Perceptual
learning, which refers to the long-term performance improvement resulting from practice, has …

With practice, humans tend to improve their performance on most tasks. But do such
improvements then generalize to new tasks? Although early work documented primarily task …

Neuroplasticity refers to the ability of the brain to reorganize the function and structure of its
connections in response to changes in the environment. Adult human visual cortex shows …

Perceptual learning refers to how experience can change the way we perceive sights,
sounds, smells, tastes, and touch. Examples abound: music training improves our ability to …

Perceptual learning has been shown to produce an improvement of visual acuity (VA) and
contrast sensitivity (CS) both in subjects with amblyopia and refractive defects such as …

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 …

Recognizing familiar faces and learning new faces play an important role in social cognition.
However, the underlying neural computational mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we …
