Confidence and feedback in visual perceptual learning
The classical view that perceptual learning is highly specific to the stimulus properties used during training is being challenged by accumulating evidence of transfer under specific conditions. Perceptual learning in the adult brain may result from an element of cortical reorganisation at a …

Roles of reward, memory, and cognitive control on visual perceptual learning and decision-making
A prevailing hypothesis of visual perceptual learning (VPL) is that for a feature to be learned, focused attention must be directed to that feature. Along these lines, top-down, task-related factors are also required for such learning to take place. The first aim of this thesis was to challenge …

A Study Of The Discriminative Function Of Six Variables In 9-12-Year-Old Males With Learning Disabilities
… power to clarify the diagnostic category of learning disabilities is needed. Research identifies many types of learning disabled populations. Studies do not indicate that the six variables used in this project had been combined and used in a project prior to this. Using measures such as …

Inhibitory mechanisms for visual learning in the human brain
… our interactions in complex environments. Our visual system is challenged to both detect elusive targets that we may want to avoid or chase and discriminate between targets that are highly similar. These tasks require our visual system to become an expert at detecting distinctive features that …

The Role of Parvalbumin Interneurons in Mouse Primary Visual Cortex during Visual Discrimination and Perceptual Learning
… roles in balancing cortical circuit activity and learning (Xu et al., 2010). PV cells are suggested to mediate feedforward inhibition and control gain modulation (Markram et al., 2004; Tremblay et al., 2016). Although increasing their activity may improve discrimination (Lee et al., 2012), …
