Word recognition as a function of retinal locus

Word recognition as a function of retinal locus Experiments to investigate "the accuracy of tachistoscopic recognition of words placed in the left and right periperal fields of vision" are reported. Subjects recognized "significantly more words placed in certain parts of the right visual field than in corresponding parts of the left, confirming the hypothesis of a selective retinal training arising from the reading situation." Alternative interpretations were ruled out by additional experiments. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Experimental Psychology: General American Psychological Association

Abstract

Experiments to investigate "the accuracy of tachistoscopic recognition of words placed in the left and right periperal fields of vision" are reported. Subjects recognized "significantly more words placed in certain parts of the right visual field than in corresponding parts of the left, confirming the hypothesis of a selective retinal training arising from the reading situation." Alternative interpretations were ruled out by additional experiments.
