Gibson's theory of perceptual learning

Gibson's theory of perceptual learning suggests that people develop new ways of perceiving and interpreting their environment through experience. Instead of learning through repetitive practice or feedback, this theory emphasizes that the senses become more attuned to detecting important environmental cues naturally, as we interact with the world over time. For example, a bird learns to recognize ripe fruit by subtle visual and auditory signs, improving perception directly through exposure. Perceptual learning improves our ability to pick up on relevant information automatically, making perception more efficient and adaptable as we encounter new situations.
