▪ Abstract Perceptual learning involves relatively long-lasting changes to an organism's
perceptual system that improve its ability to respond to its environment. Four mechanisms of …

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 …

As video-game playing has become a ubiquitous activity in today's society, it is worth
considering its potential consequences on perceptual and motor skills. It is well known that …

Over the past 20 years, the proposal that immersive media, such as video games, can be
leveraged to enhance brain plasticity and learning has been put to the test. This expanding …

If first language is rational in the sense that acquisition produces an end-state model of
language that is a proper reflection of input and that optimally prepares speakers for …

The N-methyl-d-aspartate subtype of glutamate receptor (NMDAR) serves critical functions
in physiological and pathological processes in the central nervous system, including …

The brain is able to adapt rapidly and continually to the surrounding environment, becoming
increasingly sensitive to important and frequently encountered stimuli,,,. It is often claimed …

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 …

Practicing certain visual tasks leads, as a result of a process termed “perceptual learning,” to
a significant improvement in performance. Learning is specific for basic stimulus features …

Previous studies have shown that perceptual learning can substantially alter the response
properties of neurons in the primary somatosensory and auditory cortices. Although …
