A series of four experiments measured the transfer of perceptual learning in object
recognition. Subjects viewed backward-masked, gray-scale images of common objects and …

Our goal was to differentiate low and mid level perceptual learning. We used a complex
grating discrimination task that required observers to combine information across wide …

Perceptual learning in vision has been found to be highly specific for simple stimulus
attributes, implying highly specific modifications in the nervous system. The type of specificity …

Visual perceptual learning (PL) and perceptual expertise (PE) traditionally lead to different
training effects and recruit different brain areas, but reasons for these differences are largely …

We compared perceptual learning in 16 psychophysical studies, ranging from low-level
spatial frequency and orientation discrimination tasks to high-level object and face …

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 …

Reports published in Vision Research during the late years of the 20th century described
surprising effects of long-term sensitivity improvement with some basic visual tasks as a …

Humans can learn to abstract and conceptualize the shared visual features defining an
object category in object learning. Therefore, learning is generalizable to transformations of …

The performance of adult humans in simple visual tasks improves dramatically with practice.
This improvement is highly specific to basic attributes of the trained stimulus, suggesting that …

What is the sequence of processing steps involved in visual object recognition? We varied
the exposure duration of natural images and measured subjects' performance on three …
