摘要
In most models of perceptual learning, the amount of improvement of performance does not depend on the regime of stimulus presentations, but only on the sheer number of trials. Here, we kept the number of stimulus presentations constant while varying the number of trials per session. We show that a minimal number of stimulus presentations per session is necessary, transfer depends strongly on the presentation regime, but sleep has only weak, if at all, effects.
