Abstract:Visual abilities tend to vary predictably across the visual field; for simple low-level stimuli, visibility is better along the horizontal vs. vertical meridian and in the lower vs. upper visual field. In contrast, face-recognition abilities have been reported to show either distinct or entirely idiosyncratic visual-field variations, suggesting a dissociation between the spatial properties of low- and higher-level vision. To more clearly assess this link, we extended methods used in low-level vision to develop… Show more
