Detecção de estímulos radiais e espaciais em adultos e idosos

Abstract: RESUMO -O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar curvas de sensibilidade ao contraste para estímulos radiais (FSCr) e grades senoidais (FSC) de 0,25, 0,5, 1 e 2 cpg em adultos e idosos. Mensuramos limiares de contraste para seis adultos jovens e seis idosos utilizando o método psicofísico da escolha forçada. Todos estavam livres de doenças oculares e tinham acuidade visual normal. Os idosos apresentaram prejuízos na FSC e FSCr se comparados aos adultos jovens. A sensibilidade dos adultos e idosos foi maior para gr… Show more

“…The contrast threshold measurements were achieved using a temporal two-alternative forcedchoice psychophysical method (Santos, Oliveira, Nogueira, & Simas, 2006;Santos, Simas, & Nogueira, 2007;Wetherill & Levitt, 1965). This method is based on the probability of consecutive correct choices made by participants after the presentation of pairs of stimuli, in this case, in each pair of stimuli, one had only mean luminance (40.1 cd/m2, neutral stimulus) and another contained one of the spatial frequencies (test stimulus).…”
