Given appropriate training, human observers typically demonstrate clear improvements in
performance on perceptual tasks. However, the benefits of training frequently fail to …

With practice, humans tend to improve their performance on most tasks. But do such
improvements then generalize to new tasks? Although early work documented primarily task …

Perceptual learning refers to a long‐term change in the ability to extract perceptual
information from the environment that arises via experience or practice. In this chapter, we …

The majority of theoretical models of learning consider learning to be a continuous function
of experience. However, most perceptual learning studies use thresholds estimated by fitting …

For the 2024 Paris Olympic games, there is a movement to include esports as a
demonstration sport. The International Olympic Committee suggested that “competitive …

Human visual perception can be improved through perceptual learning. However, such
learning is often specific to stimulus and learning conditions. Here, we explored how …

Over the past 15 years, there has been increasing scientific interest in the impact of long-
term video game play on cognitive function. This literature has revealed that playing one …

While learning is often highly specific to the exact stimuli and tasks used during training,
there are cases where training results in learning that generalizes more broadly. It has been …

In their article, Barr and Kirkorian (2023) synthesize the literature focused on children's
learning from an increasingly complicated digital world and highlight a host of critical big …

The measurement of visual acuity in children is important to detect visual anomalies
including amblyopia. The use of visual acuity tests that induce 'crowding'are often …
