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

Overlearning refers to the continued training of a skill after performance improvement has
plateaued. Whether overlearning is beneficial is a question in our daily lives that has never …

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 …

Two behavioral phenomena characterize human motor memory consolidation: diminishing
susceptibility to interference by a subsequent experience and the emergence of delayed …

Objective: While attention bias modification (ABM) is a promising novel treatment for anxiety
disorders, clinical trial data remain restricted to adults. The authors examined whether ABM …

Perceptual learning is regarded as a manifestation of experience-dependent plasticity in the
sensory systems, yet the underlying neural mechanisms remain unclear. We measured the …

The adult mammalian brain has a remarkable capacity to learn in both the perceptual and
motor domains through the formation and consolidation of memories. Such practice-enabled …

There is increasing evidence supporting the notion that the contribution of sleep to
consolidation of motor skills depends on the nature of the task used in practice. We …
