Age-related sensory declines are unavoidable and closely linked to decreased visual, auditory, and cognitive functions. However, the interrelations of these declines remain poorly understood. Despite extensive studies in each domain, shared age-related characteristics are complex and may not consistently manifest direct relationships at the individual level.

Whether visual perceptual learning affects motor responses is unknown. Here we implemented a protocol that enabled us to address this question.

- Perceptual learning is defined as a lasting improvement in performance on specific tasks after training, typically with little transfer to other tasks.
- Recent research in auditory training indicates that interleaving different tasks during training can enhance learning, even when neither task alone is effective.
- A study involving visual tasks found that combining training on an orientation comparison task with a spatial-frequency comparison task led to better learning outcomes than training on the orientation task alone, highlighting the benefits of cross-task training for optimizing perceptual learning.
