Here we demonstrate that, with a training-plus-exposure procedure, in which observers are trained at one orientation and either simultaneously or subsequently passively exposed to a second transfer orientation, perceptual learning can completely transfer to the second orientation in tasks known to be orientation-specific. However, transfer fails if exposure precedes the training. These results challenge the existing specific perceptual learning models by suggesting a more general perceptual learning process. We propose a rule-based learning model to explain perceptual learning and its specificity and transfer. In this model, a decision unit in high-level brain areas learns the rules of reweighting the V1 inputs through training. However, these rules cannot be applied to a new orientation/location because the decision unit cannot functionally connect to the new V1 inputs that are unattended or even suppressed after training at a different orientation/location, which leads to specificity. Repeated orientation exposure or location training reactivates these inputs to establish the functional connections and enable the transfer of learning.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">20844128</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;R01-01728/PHS HHS/United StatesR01-04776/PHS HHS/United StatesJournal ArticleResearch Support, N.I.H., ExtramuralResearch Support, Non-U.S. Gov'tUnited Statesthe official journal of the Society for Neuroscience&lt;/p&gt;</style></notes><auth-address><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">State Key Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience and Learning, Beijing Normal University, Beijing 100875, China.</style></auth-address></record></records></xml>
