DOI: 10.1002/aur.2778
Abstract: The automatic retuning of phoneme categories to better adapt to the speech of a novel talker has been extensively documented across various (neurotypical) populations, including both adults and children. However, no studies have examined auditory… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10936-017-9506-y
Abstract: This study revisited Reid’s (1987) perceptual learning style preference questionnaire (PLSPQ) in an attempt to answer whether the PLSPQ fits in the Chinese-as-a-second-language (CSL) context. If not, what are CSL learners’ learning styles drawing on… read more here.

Auditory perceptual learning is not affected by anticipatory anxiety in the healthy population except for highly anxious individuals: EEG evidence

DOI: 10.1016/j.clinph.2019.04.010
Abstract: OBJECTIVE A recent neurocomputational model proposed that anxious hypervigilance impedes perceptual learning. This view is supported by the observed modulation of the mismatch negativity (MMN), a biomarker of implicit perceptual learning processes, in anxiety disorders.… read more here.

Enhanced neural function in highly aberrated eyes following perceptual learning with adaptive optics

DOI: 10.1016/j.visres.2016.07.011
Abstract: ABSTRACT Highly aberrated keratoconic (KC) eyes do not elicit the expected visual advantage from customized optical corrections. This is attributed to the neural insensitivity arising from chronic visual experience with poor retinal image quality, dominated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.visres.2017.10.006
Abstract: &NA; Perceptual learning can occur for a feature irrelevant to the training task, when it is sub‐threshold and outside of the focus of attention (task‐irrelevant perceptual learning, TIPL); however, TIPL does not occur when the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.visres.2018.02.010
Abstract: Perceptual learning of the type we consider here is a consequence of experience with a class of stimuli. It amounts to an enhanced ability to discriminate between stimuli. We argue that it contributes to the… read more here.

Abstract: Almost 40 years after classic papers (Ball & Sekuler, 1982; Fiorentini & Berardi, 1980; McKee & Westheimer, 1978) that triggered a wave of research on perceptual learning, the field remains vibrant and relevant. Rehabilitation for… read more here.

Reduced direction discrimination sensitivity in visual motion adaptation, and the role of perceptual learning

DOI: 10.1016/j.visres.2021.02.002
Abstract: We investigated visual direction discrimination under the influence of motion aftereffect (MAE). Participants in each experiment first adapted to a horizontally drifting grating before deciding whether a drifting test grating moved to the left or… read more here.

Perceptual learning after rapidly alternating exposure to taste compounds: Assessment with different indices of generalization.

DOI: 10.1037/xan0000333
Abstract: Exposure to two similar stimuli (AX and BX; e.g., two tastes) reduces the extent to which a conditioned response later established to BX generalizes to AX. This example of perceptual learning is more evident when… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41562-017-0048
Abstract: A study now finds that visual perceptual learning of complex features occurs due to enhancement of later, decision-related stages of visual processing, rather than earlier, visual encoding stages. It is suggested that strengthening of the… read more here.
