Visual perceptual learning (VPL) is long-term performance increase resulting from visual
perceptual experience. Task-relevant VPL of a feature results from training of a task on the …

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

Reports published in Vision Research during the late years of the 20th century described
surprising effects of long-term sensitivity improvement with some basic visual tasks as a …

The relationship between the brain and the environment is flexible, forming the foundation
for our ability to learn. Here we review the current state of our understanding of the …

Action video game play benefits performance in an array of sensory, perceptual, and
attentional tasks that go well beyond the specifics of game play [1–9]. That a training …

Visual perceptual learning (VPL) is defined as a long-term improvement in performance on a
visual task. In recent years, the idea that conscious effort is necessary for VPL to occur has …

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

How does the brain learn those visual features that are relevant for behavior? In this article,
we focus on two factors that guide plasticity of visual representations. First, reinforcers cause …

Learning in educational settings emphasizes declarative and procedural knowledge.
Studies of expertise, however, point to other crucial components of learning, especially …

Recent research indicates that perceptual learning (PL)—experience-induced changes in
the way perceivers extract information—plays a larger role in complex cognitive tasks …
