Perceptual learning across saccades: Feature but not location specific.

ABSTRACT: Perceptual learning is the ability to enhance perception through practice. The hallmark of perceptual learning is its specificity for the trained location and stimulus features, such as orientation. For example, training in discriminating a grating's orientation improves performance only at the trained location but not in other untrained locations. Perceptual learning has mostly been studied using stimuli presented briefly while observers maintained gaze at one location. However, in everyday life, stimuli are actively explored through eye movements, which results in successive projections of the same stimulus at different retinal locations. Here, we studied perceptual learning of orientation discrimination across saccades. Observers were trained to saccade to a peripheral grating and to di
