Study Summary

This trial studies how experience with the environment can change the way we perceive things. It will compare different learning approaches to find out which ones are the most effective in improving perceptual skills.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals between 18 and 30 years old with corrected vision of at least 20/40. They should not have any history of retinal pathology or neurological disease.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests various training tasks (like mixed difficulty, attention training, noise training) to see how they affect perceptual learning in people with cognitive impairment. It aims to understand which methods improve perception skills the most.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves cognitive and perceptual exercises rather than medications, traditional physical side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience mental fatigue or frustration.
