Variable stimuli may lead to better learning performance and outcomes under novel circumstances, a new study reports.
Learning is optimized in computer models when there is an error rate of 15%. Researchers say the 85% accuracy rule may also apply to humans for optimal perceptual learning.
Neurofeedback training stimulates the cortical learning process and can help improve the sense of touch, a new study reveals.
A new study reveals passive exposure to foreign speech sounds over the course of several consecutive days helps enhance discrimination abilities and language learning.
A new neuroimaging study reveals imagination may help people with fear or anxiety disorders overcome them. The study reports imagining a threat can alter the way it is represented in the brain.
Researchers provide new evidence of brain plasticity. A new study reveals visual cortex neurons sprout new axons and shed some old ones as animals improve at perceptual learning tasks.
Where objects appear in a person's visual field can affect the ability to determine what the object is, researchers say.
Stress may impede perceptual learning and performance, a new study reports.
According to a new study, playing action video games helps improve learning capabilities.
