Visual perceptual learning through practice or training can significantly improve
performance on visual tasks. Originally seen as a manifestation of plasticity in the primary …

The physiological responses of simple and complex cells in the primary visual cortex (V1)
have been studied extensively and modeled at different levels. At the functional level, the …

Abstract 3D motion perception is of central importance to daily life. However, when tested in
laboratory settings, sensitivity to 3D motion signals is found to be poor, leading to the view …

The majority of theoretical models of learning consider learning to be a continuous function
of experience. However, most perceptual learning studies use thresholds estimated by fitting …

Tactile vision substitution devices are assistive technologies for the blind that redirect visual
information to the tactile sense. They typically include a tactile display that conveys visual …

Human behavior is guided by our expectations about the future. Often, we make predictions
by monitoring how event sequences unfold, even though such sequences may appear …

Training on visual tasks improves performance on basic and higher order visual capacities.
Such improvement has been linked to changes in connectivity among mediating neurons …

Recent research has shown that reinforcement can facilitate visual perceptual learning
(VPL), but no study has examined the relations between individual differences in …

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of external feedback in auditory
perceptual learning of school-age children as compared with that of adults. Method Forty …
