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 …

Crowding, generally defined as the deleterious influence of nearby contours on visual
discrimination, is ubiquitous in spatial vision. Crowding impairs the ability to recognize …

While online experiments have shown tremendous potential to study larger and more
diverse participant samples than is possible in the lab, the uncontrolled online environment …

The human capacity to recognize complex visual patterns emerges in a sequence of brain
areas known as the ventral stream, beginning with primary visual cortex (V1). We developed …

It is now emerging that vision is usually limited by object spacing rather than size. The visual
system recognizes an object by detecting and then combining its features.'Crowding'occurs …

Although the causes of dyslexia are still debated, all researchers agree that the main
challenge is to find ways that allow a child with dyslexia to read more words in less time …

To contrast mechanisms of lexical access in production versus comprehension we
compared the effects of word frequency (high, low), context (none, low constraint, high …

The size and shape of printed symbols determine the legibility of text. In this paper, we focus
on print size because of its crucial role in understanding reading performance and its …

Developmental dyslexia (DD) is the most common neurodevelopmental disorder (about
10% of children across cultures) characterized by severe difficulties in learning to read …

Although the dominant approach posits that developmental dyslexia arises from deficits in
systems that are exclusively linguistic in nature (ie, phonological deficit theory), dyslexics …
