Perceptual learning refers to the process by which the ability to interpret sensory information improves with experience. Expert wine tasters, through extensive experience and practice, have honed their sensory skills to the point where they can identify very specific characteristics of wines, such as the year of bottling and the vineyard of origin, based on taste and smell. This improvement in sensory interpretation is a classic example of perceptual learning.
