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 visual expertise of adult humans is jointly determined by evolution, visual development
and visual perceptual learning. Perceptual learning refers to performance improvements in …

Highlights•Perceptual Learning research has identified numerous processes that change
with learning.•Identified mechanisms of Perceptual Learning are not mutually …

Human perceptual learning, experience-induced gains in sensory discrimination, typically
yields long-term performance improvements. Recent research revealed long-lasting transfer …

Studies of perceptual learning have revealed a great deal of plasticity in adult humans. In
this study, we systematically investigated the effects and mechanisms of several forms (trial …

Microsaccades, incessant “fixational eye movements”(< 1°), are an important window into
cognitive functions. Yet, its role in visual perceptual learning (VPL)–improvements in visual …

Experience significantly influences how sensory stimuli are processed and the quality of
sensory-based decisions and human performance. This is true for all sensory modalities …

Visual perceptual learning (VPL) refers to the improvement in visual perceptual abilities
through training and has potential implications for clinical populations. However …

Perceptual learning has been widely used to study the plasticity of the visual system in
adults. Owing to the belief that practice makes perfect, perceptual learning protocols usually …

Studies report that rapidly repeated sensory stimulation can evoke LTP-like improvement of
neural response in the sensory cortex. Whether this neural response potentiation is similar …
