The Sweet Spot of Plasticity in Perceptual Learning Depends on Training Variability

2025-12-17

Abstract excerpt

<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Perceptual learning improves sensory discrimination, yet the brain must balance specificity and generalization, especially in variable environments. To investigate how variability shapes perceptual learning, we used functional magnetic resonance imaging while human subjects performed an orientation discrimination task with low or high task-irrelevant variability in spatial frequency. Behaviorally...
