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 …

Human perceptual learning is classically thought to be highly specific to trained stimuli's
retinal location. Together with evidence that specific learning effects can result in …

Perceptual learning refers to the phenomenon that practice or training in perceptual tasks
often substantially improves perceptual performance. Often exhibiting stimulus or task …

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 …

Perceptual learning often shows substantial and long-lasting changes in the ability to
classify relevant perceptual stimuli due to practice. Specificity to trained stimuli and tasks is a …

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 …

Psychometric functions are often interpreted in the context of Signal Detection Theory, which
emphasizes a distinction between sensory processing and non-sensory decision rules in the …

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

Previous research suggests that playing action video games improves performance on
sensory, perceptual, and attentional tasks. For instance, Green, Pouget, and Bavelier (2010) …

Perceptual learning of orientation discrimination is reported to be precisely specific to the
trained retinal location. This specificity is often taken as evidence for localizing the site of …
