Perceptual learning in adult humans and animals refers to improvements in sensory abilities
after training. These improvements had been thought to occur only when attention is focused …

The mechanisms of perceptual learning are analyzed theoretically, probed in an orientation-
discrimination experiment involving a novel nonstationary context manipulation, and …

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is increasingly used to investigate
mechanisms of brain functions and plasticity, but also as a promising new therapeutic tool …

For more than a century, the process of stabilization has been a central issue in the research
of learning and memory. Namely, after a skill or memory is acquired, it must be consolidated …

Age‐related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in developed
countries. With an ageing population, the prevalence of such a condition has resulted in a …

Repeated within-day testing on a texture discrimination task leads to retinotopically specific
decreases in performance. Although perceptual learning has been shown to be highly …

Perceptual learning is an improvement in one's sensory abilities after training and is thought
to help us to better adapt to the sensory environment. Here, we show that perceptual …

Studies of psychopharmacology often use the test of the critical flicker fusion (CFF) threshold
as a measure of total information processing. It is true that studies of practice effects have …

Eye-transfer tests, external noise manipulations, and observer models were used to
systematically characterize learning mechanisms in judging motion direction of moving …

Three experiments were conducted that provide a direct examination of within-category
discontinuity manipulations on the implicit, procedural-based learning and the explicit …
