Visual perceptual learning has been shown to be induced by training and to benefit from consolidation during sleep, presumably via the reactivation of learning-associated neuronal firing patterns. However, previous studies have almost exclusively relied on a single paradigm, the texture discrimination task, on which performance improvements may rely on higher-order rather than lower-level perceptual skills. In the present study, we tested whether sleep has beneficial effects on a visual disparity discrimination task. We confirm previous findings in showing that the ability to discriminate different disparities is unaffected by sleep during a 12-hr retention period after training. Importantly, we extend these results by providing evidence against an effect of sleep on the generalisation of improved disparity discrimination across the vertical meridian. By relying on a between-subject design, we further exclude carry-over effects as a possible confound present in previous findings. These data argue against sleep as an important factor in the consolidation of a low-level perceptual skill. This sets important constraints on models of the role of sleep and sleep-associated neural reactivation in the consolidation of non-declarative memories.
