Reading is a perceptual skill. Repeating perceptual discriminations in context {perceptual learning} unconsciously improves discriminations up to weeks later. Coordinating perception with action and adapting to new perceptions involve different learning than for concepts or conditioning.
factors
Discrimination depends on feature such as texture, motion direction, and line orientation, with no reward or feedback. Seemingly, people learn underlying rules.
transfer
No learning transfer goes to other locations, other brain parts, or similar objects.
comparisons
Besides perceptual learning, there is also language learning and social learning, such as imitation, modeling, and teaching.
