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

Citation information: Astle AT, Webb BS & McGraw PV. Can perceptual learning be used to
treat amblyopia beyond the critical period of visual development? Ophthalmic Physiol Opt …

Abnormal visual experience during a sensitive period of development disrupts neuronal
circuitry in the visual cortex and results in abnormal spatial vision or amblyopia. Here we …

Stereopsis, the perception of depth based on the disparity of the images projected to the
retinas of the two eyes, is an important process in our three-dimensional world; however, 3 …

Purpose.: Perceptual learning has been shown to be effective in improving visual functions
in the normal adult visual system, as well as in adults with amblyopia. In this study, the …

Amblyopia is a developmental disorder that results in deficits of monocular and binocular
vision. It is presently unclear whether these deficits result from attenuation of signals in the …

Amblyopia is the most common form of impairment of visual function affecting one eye, with
a prevalence of about 1–5% of the total world population. This pathology is caused by early …

Amblyopia is a common visual disorder that results in a spatial acuity deficit in the affected
eye. Orthodox treatment is to occlude the unaffected eye for lengthy periods, largely …

During brain development, the neocortex shows periods of enhanced plasticity, which
enables the acquisition of knowledge and skills that we use and build on in adult life. Key to …

Purpose.: Although amblyopia is diagnosed in terms of a monocular letter acuity loss,
individuals typically present with deficits on a wide range of spatial tasks. Many of these …
