Role of Visual Acuity in Tachistoscopic Recognition of Three-Letter Words

Abstract

It has been suggested that a correlation between word recognition and visual acuity would constitute a confounding influence in word-recognition studies within a laterality paradigm. 20 Ss made binary judgments concerning the presence or absence of a spatial gap in a tachistoscopically presented line target positioned at .75", 1.5", 3.0°, and 6.0" in either visual field. Gap detection was superior in the right visual field (p = .02) at the 6.0" position. ZIGLER, M. J., & WOLF, E. Uniocular and binocular scoropic parafoveal sensitivity.
