Visual perceptual learning (VPL) is defined as a long-term improvement in performance on a
visual task. In recent years, the idea that conscious effort is necessary for VPL to occur has …

Visual perceptual learning (VPL) is long-term performance increase resulting from visual
perceptual experience. Task-relevant VPL of a feature results from training of a task on the …

The visual expertise of adult humans is jointly determined by evolution, visual development
and visual perceptual learning. Perceptual learning refers to performance improvements in …

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

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

Increasing evidence suggests that plastic changes underlying skill learning may occur at
early stages of neural processing. However, whether visual perceptual learning (PL) is …

Perceptual learning is regarded as a manifestation of experience-dependent plasticity in the
sensory systems, yet the underlying neural mechanisms remain unclear. We measured the …

Visual perceptual learning models, as constrained by orientation and location specificities,
propose that learning either reflects changes in V1 neuronal tuning or reweighting specific …

Psychophysical and neuroimaging studies suggest that perceptual learning may affect
activity in primary visual cortex (V1). Yet, it remains unclear whether such changes involve …

Perceptual learning, the improvement in performance with practice, reflects plasticity in the
adult visual system. We challenge a standard claim that specificity of perceptual learning …
