Amblyopia is a developmental abnormality that results from physiological alterations in the
visual cortex and impairs form vision. It is a consequence of abnormal binocular visual …

Revealing the relationships between perceptual representations in the brain and
mechanisms of adult perceptual learning is of great importance, potentially leading to …

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 …

Task-irrelevant perceptual learning (TIPL) has captured a growing interest in the field of
perceptual learning. The basic phenomenon is that stimulus features that are irrelevant to a …

Perceptual learning is the improvement in perceptual task performance with practice or
training. The observation of specificity in perceptual learning has been widely associated …

Improvements in performance on many perceptual skills can occur with only a single training
session. Of interest here is what aspects of the training experience are being learned during …

We trained subjects to identify either upright or inverted faces in a 10AFC task and
measured performance subsequently in four conditions: same-and different-upright faces …

We examined the amount of practice needed to improve performance on 10-AFC face-and
texture identification tasks. On Day 1, subjects were grouped by amount of practice: a control …

The role of attention in perceptual learning has been a topic of controversy. Sensory
psychophysicists/physiologists and animal learning psychologists have conducted …

What is learned in perceptual learning? How does perceptual learning change the
perceptual system? We investigate these questions using a systems analysis of the …
