Editing Motion perception (section)

==[[Perceptual learning]] of motion==
Detection and discrimination of motion can be improved by training with long-term results. Participants trained to detect the movements of dots on a screen in only one direction become particularly good at detecting small movements in the directions around that in which they have been trained. This improvement was still present 10 weeks later. However [[perceptual learning]] is highly specific. For example, the participants show no improvement when tested around other motion directions, or for other sorts of stimuli.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Ball K, Sekuler R | title = A specific and enduring improvement in visual motion discrimination | journal = Science | volume = 218 | issue = 4573 | pages = 697–8 | date = November 1982 | pmid = 7134968 | doi = 10.1126/science.7134968 | bibcode = 1982Sci...218..697B }}</ref>
