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

We summarize the various strands of research on peripheral vision and relate them to
theories of form perception. After a historical overview, we describe quantifications of 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 …

We investigated how the CNS learns to control movements in different dynamical conditions,
and how this learned behavior is represented. In particular, we considered the task of …

Studies of learning, and in particular perceptual learning, have focused on learning of stimuli
consisting of a single sensory modality. However, our experience in the world involves …

We examined a visual search task, in which observers responded to the high-acuity aspect
of a popout target (shape of an odd-colored diamond or vernier offset of an odd spatial …

Behavioral and neurophysiological studies suggest that skill learning can be mediated by
discrete, experience-driven changes within specific neural representations subserving the …

▪ 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 …

Perceptual learning can be defined as practice-induced improvement in the ability to
perform specific perceptual tasks. We previously proposed the Reverse Hierarchy Theory as …

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 …
