Geometric-relationship specific transfer in visual perceptual learning

Show abstract
Visual perceptual learning (VPL) is defined as long-term improvement on a visual task as a result of visual experience. In many cases, the improvement is highly specific to the location where the target is presented, which refers to location specificity. In the current study, we investigated the effect of a geometrical relationship between the trained location and an untrained location on transfer of VPL. We found that significant transfer occurs either diagonally or along a line passing the fixation point. This indicates that whether location specificity or location transfer occurs at least partially depends on the geometrical relationship between trained location and an untrained location.
