Developmental changes in the visual span for reading
The visual span for reading refers to the range of letters, formatted as in text, that can be recognized reliably without moving the eyes. It is likely that the size of the visual span is determined primarily by characteristics of early visual processing. It has been hypothesized that the size of the visual span imposes a fundamental limit on reading speed [Legge, G. E., Mansfield, J. S., & Chu...
متن کاملLinking crowding, visual span, and reading
The visual span is hypothesized to be a sensory bottleneck on reading speed with crowding thought to be the major sensory factor limiting the size of the visual span. This proposed linkage between crowding, visual span, and reading speed is challenged by the finding that training to read crowded letters reduced crowding but did not improve reading speed (Chung, 2007). Here, we examined two prop...
متن کاملDevelopmental dyslexia: the visual attention span deficit hypothesis.
The visual attention (VA) span is defined as the amount of distinct visual elements which can be processed in parallel in a multi-element array. Both recent empirical data and theoretical accounts suggest that a VA span deficit might contribute to developmental dyslexia, independently of a phonological disorder. In this study, this hypothesis was assessed in two large samples of French and Brit...

متن کاملLife Span Changes in Visual Enumeration: The Number Discrimination Task
Participants from 5 groups with mean ages of 6, 8, 10, 22, and 72 years were tested on a series of speeded number discriminations: 1 vs. 2, 3 vs. 4, 6 vs. 7, and 8 vs. 9. The primary measure of interest--response time slope as a function of number size--decreased with age for numbers in the 1-4 range. However, a U-shaped age function emerged in the 6-9 range, with larger slopes for children and...
