Citation information: Astle AT, Webb BS & McGraw PV. Can perceptual learning be used to treat amblyopia beyond the critical period of visual development? Ophthalmic Physiol Opt 2011, 31, 564–573. doi: 10.1111/j.1475‐1313.2011.00873.x
AbstractBackground: Amblyopia presents early in childhood and affects approximately 3% of western populations. The monocular visual acuity loss is conventionally...
Perceptual learning effects demonstrate that the adult visual system retains neural plasticity. If perceptual learning holds any value as a treatment tool for amblyopia, trained improvements in performance must generalise. Here we investigate whether spatial frequency discrimination learning generalises within task to other spatial frequencies, and across task to contrast sensitivity. Before and after...
