Our perceptual abilities significantly improve with practice. This phenomenon, known as
perceptual learning, offers an ideal window for understanding use-dependent changes in …

Matching unfamiliar faces is a difficult task. Here we ask whether it is possible to improve
performance by providing multiple images to support matching. In two experiments we …

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 …

Studies on noninvasive motor cortex stimulation and motor learning demonstrated cortical
excitability as a marker for a learning effect. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is …

Perceptual learning is often orientation and location specific, which may indicate neuronal
plasticity in early visual areas. However, learning specificity diminishes with additional …

The generalization of learning offers a unique window for investigating the nature of motor
learning. Error-based motor learning reportedly cannot generalize to distant directions …

Perceptual learning is a phenomenon in which intensive training for a perceptual task may
lead to significant improvement in the task performance. So far, the characteristics of the …

Visual perceptual learning is known to be specific to the trained retinal location, feature, and
task. However, location and feature specificity can be eliminated by double-training or TPE …

Neurons in the early visual cortex are finely tuned to different low-level visual features,
forming a multi-channel system analysing the visual image formed on the retina in a parallel …

Recent studies reported significantly less location specificity in motion direction learning
than in previous classical studies. The latter performed training with the method of constant …
