Object perception is one of the most remarkable capacities of the primate brain. Owing to the
large and indeterminate dimensionality of object space, the neural basis of object perception …

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

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 …

Expertise is correctly, but one-sidedly, associated with special abilities and enhanced
performance. The other side of expertise, however, is surreptitiously hidden. Along with …

Extensive training on simple tasks such as fine orientation discrimination results in large
improvements in performance, a form of learning known as perceptual learning. Previous …

Perceptual learning not only improves sensitivity, but it also changes our subjective
experience. However, the question of how these two learning effects relate is largely …

Latent print examinations are complex perceptual and cognitive tasks. Examiners rely on
their visual systems to find similarities in pairs of prints. They then must compare the degree …

Practice improves visual performance on simple tasks in which stimuli vary along one
dimension. Such learning frequently is stimulus-specific and enduring, and has been …

Aim: This study aimed to revisit previous findings of superior processing of motion direction
in migraineurs with a more stringent direction discrimination task and to investigate whether …

Background Practice-related improvements of performance are common in many areas of
visual processing. There is preliminary evidence that this is also the case for standard …
