For more than a century, the process of stabilization has been a central issue in the research
of learning and memory. Namely, after a skill or memory is acquired, it must be consolidated …

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 acquisition of many perceptual skills proceeds over a course of days. However, little is
known about how much daily training is needed for such learning to occur. Here we …

After encoding, memory traces are fragile and easily disrupted by new learning until they are
stabilized through a process termed consolidation,. However, several studies have …

While the importance of attention in perceptual learning is widely recognized, the
mechanisms through which it affects learning are poorly understood. Here we show that …

Perceptual learning in vision has been found to be highly specific for simple stimulus
attributes, implying highly specific modifications in the nervous system. The type of specificity …

Human perception thresholds can improve through learning. Here we report findings
challenging the fundamental'practice makes perfect'basis of procedural learning theory …

Neurons in visual cortical areas primary visual cortex (V1) and V4 are adaptive processors,
influenced by perceptual task. This is reflected in their ability to segment the visual scene …

It is generally assumed that the storage capacity of visual working memory (VWM) is limited,
holding about 3–4 items. Recent work with real-world objects, however, has challenged this …
