Sensibilidade ao contraste de freqüências radiais em crianças de 4 a 7 anos e adultos

Abstract: Resumo O objetivo deste trabalho foi medir a sensibilidade ao contraste para freqüências radiais (FSCr) de 0,25 a 2 cpg em crianças (4 a 7 anos) e adultos. Foram estimados limiares de contraste para 25 participantes (vinte crianças e cinco adultos jovens), utilizando o método psicofísico da escolha forçada. Os participantes apresentavam acuidade visual normal. Os resultados mostraram que as curvas (FSCr) de crianças de 4 a 7 anos melhoraram de forma significativa com a idade. Os resultados mostraram ainda que … Show more

“…The CS reported here for the control group is similar to the CS reported by Santos, França, and Simas (2008) who measured CS to concentric stimuli in 4-to 7-year-old children and young adults and used the same equipment and procedure as used in the present study. Non-Cartesian Bessel CS is usually found to be lower than Cartesian Linear CS at all ages (see França & Santos, 2006).…”

“…However, only a few studies, including the present study, examined the development of CS to non-Cartesian gratings (Santos, França, & Cruz, 2007;Santos et al, 2008). The present results suggest that early malnutrition, known to affect primary visual cortical areas (Santos & Alencar, 2010), may affect higher visual cortical areas as well, including V2, V4, and the inferotemporal cortex.…”
