perceptual learning

Perceptual learning is the process by which our sensory systems become better at distinguishing and interpreting sensory information through experience. For example, someone who frequently listens to music may develop a sharper ability to recognize different instruments or musical tones over time. This learning enhances our ability to notice subtle differences in what we see, hear, or feel, improving our skills in various tasks. It often occurs unconsciously, as we refine our perceptions through repeated exposure and practice, ultimately leading to greater expertise in recognizing patterns and making sense of our surroundings.
