Abstract

The present study investigated age-related differences in perceptual learning. We assessed performance and learning on a semantic category visual search task. We investigated whether prepractice was beneficial for general learning and for automatic attention response development. In terms of general learning, prepractice was beneficial, especially tot older adults; however, prepractice did not benefit automatic attention response development. The implications of these results for training purposes are discussed.
