Suppressive and facilitatory spatial interactions in amblyopic vision
Amblyopic vision is characterized by reduced spatial resolution, and inhibitory spatial interactions ("crowding") that extend over long distances. The present paper had three goals: (1) To ask whether the extensive crowding in amblyopic vision is a consequence of a shift in the spatial scale of analysis. To test this we measured the extent of crowding for targets that were limited in their spat...
متن کاملSuppressive and facilitatory spatial interactions in foveal vision: foveal crowding is simple contrast masking.
Spatial interactions are a critical and ubiquitous feature of spatial vision. These interactions may be inhibitory (reducing sensitivity as occurs in crowding) or facilitatory (enhancing sensitivity). In this work, we had four goals. 1. To test the hypothesis that foveal crowding depends on target size by measuring the extent of crowding for novel targets that were limited in their spatial freq...
متن کاملSpatial localization in normal and amblyopic vision.
Spatial localization was investigated for each eye of amblyopic observers using a bisection paradigm. The stimuli were comprised of a grating composed of bright lines, and a test line. The test line was either placed above the grating (bisection-no overlap) or within the row of lines comprising the grating (bisection-with overlap) and thresholds for each bisection task were measured as a functi...
متن کاملSuppressive and facilitatory spatial interactions in peripheral vision: peripheral crowding is neither size invariant nor simple contrast masking.
Peripheral vision is characterized by reduced spatial resolution and inhibitory spatial interactions that extend over long distances. This work had three goals. (1) We considered whether the extensive crowding in peripheral vision is a consequence of a shift in the spatial scale of analysis. To test this, using a large range of target sizes and spatial frequencies, we measured the extent of cro...
متن کاملPositional uncertainty in peripheral and amblyopic vision.
Three experiments were performed to examine positional acuity and the role of spatial sampling in central, peripheral and amblyopic vision. In the first experiment, 3-line bisection acuity was compared to grating acuity. In normal foveal vision bisection acuity represents a hyperacuity. In anisometropic amblyopes, bisection acuity is reduced in rough proportion to their grating acuity. In strab...
