Metacognitive efficiency quantifies people's ability to introspect into their own decision
making relative to their ability to perform the primary task. Despite years of research, it is still …

Perceptual learning involves long‐term changes to perception due to practice or experience.
While perceptual learning has been studied for over a century in philosophy and …

Action video game players (AVGPs) outperform non–action video game players (NAVGPs)
on a range of perceptual and attentional tasks. Although several studies have reported …

Interacting with a cluttered and dynamic environment requires making decisions about
visual information at relevant locations while ignoring irrelevant locations. Typical adults can …

Background Recent work has shown that perceptual learning can improve face
discrimination in subjects with acquired prosopagnosia. Objective In this study, we …

The learning curve in perceptual learning is typically sampled in blocks of trials, which could
result in imprecise and possibly biased estimates, especially when learning is rapid …

Skill learning is fundamental to the acquisition of many complex behaviors that emerge
during development. For example, years of practice give rise to perceptual improvements …

Purpose: To examine whether performance improvements in the virtual environment
generalize to the natural environment. Study design: we had 64 individuals, 32 of which …

Perceptual learning is usually feature-specific. Recently, we showed that perceptual
learning is even specific for the motor response type. In a three-line bisection task …
