Information processing in the visual periphery
Tóm tắt
The information processing capacity of the visual periphery was investigated in two experiments using stimuli of known relative information content. The results of Experiment I showed redundant patterns to be easiest to identify at all peripheral angles tested (5, 10, 20, and 30 deg) as compared to intermediate and nonredundant patterns. Performance on all patterns decreased as peripheral angle increased. In Experiment II, simultaneous foveal and peripheral vision was required in a discrimination task. Performance was above chance only when the peripheral (7-deg) pattern was redundant. The foveal pattern had no effect on discrimination.
