We summarize the various strands of research on peripheral vision and relate them to
theories of form perception. After a historical overview, we describe quantifications of the …

This review discusses several pervasive myths about peripheral vision, as well as what is
actually true: Peripheral vision underlies a broad range of visual tasks, in spite of its …

Crowding, the inability to recognize objects in clutter, sets a fundamental limit on conscious
visual perception and object recognition throughout most of the visual field. Despite how …

Recent increased usage of stereo displays has been accompanied by public concern about
potential adverse effects associated with prolonged viewing of stereo imagery. There are …

In crowding, perception of a target is strongly deteriorated by nearby elements. Crowding is
often explained by pooling models predicting that adding flankers increases crowding. In …

In crowding, the perception of a target strongly deteriorates when neighboring elements are
presented. Crowding is usually assumed to have the following characteristics.(a) Crowding …

Processing of shape information in human peripheral visual fields is impeded beyond what
can be expected by poor spatial resolution. Visual crowding, the inability to identify objects …

'Heuristic'theories of autism postulate that a single mechanism or process underpins the
diverse psychological features of autism spectrum disorder. Although no such theory can …

A set of phenomena known as crowding reveal peripheral vision's vulnerability in the face of
clutter. Crowding is important both because of its ubiquity, making it relevant for many real …

We examined the effects of the spatial complexity of flankers and target–flanker similarity on
the performance of identifying crowded letters. On each trial, observers identified the middle …
