Crowding between first- and second-order letter stimuli in normal foveal and peripheral vision.
Evidence that the detection of first- and second-order visual stimuli is processed by separate pathways abounds. This study asked whether first- and second-order stimuli remain independent at the stage of processing where crowding occurs. We measured thresholds for identifying a first-order (luminance defined) or second-order (contrast defined) target letter in the presence of two second- or fi...
متن کاملCrowding between first- and second-order letters in amblyopia
To test whether first- and second-order stimuli are processed independently in amblyopic vision, we measured thresholds for identifying a target letter flanked by two letters for all combinations of first- and second-order targets and flankers. We found that (1) the magnitude of crowding is greater for second- than for first-order letters for target and flankers of the same order type; (2) subs...
متن کاملThe nature of letter crowding as revealed by first- and second-order classification images.
Visual crowding refers to the marked inability to identify an otherwise perfectly identifiable object when it is flanked by other objects. Crowding places a significant limit on form vision in the visual periphery; its mechanism is, however, unknown. Building on the method of signal-clamped classification images (Tjan & Nandy, 2006), we developed a series of first- and second-order classificati...
متن کاملEvidence for global motion interactions between first-order and second-order stimuli.
Recent research indicates that the early stages of visual-motion analysis involve two parallel neural pathways, one conveying information from luminance-defined (first-order) image features, the other conveying information from texture-defined (second-order) features. It is still not clear whether these two pathways converge during later stages of global motion integration. According to one acc...
متن کاملContrast-reversing global-motion stimuli reveal local interactions between first- and second-order motion signals
Motion perception appears to be mediated by, at least, two systems: a first-order and a second-order system. To investigate the degree of interaction between these systems, we used a contrast-reversing global-motion stimulus in which the signal dots reverse their contrast polarity as they move. In response to such a stimulus, fullwave-rectifying second-order units would signal motion in the dis...
