We examined the effects of the spatial complexity of flankers and target–flanker similarity on
the performance of identifying crowded letters. On each trial, observers identified the middle …

In four experiments we examined whether the frequency of occurrence of letters affects
performance in the alphabetic decision task (speeded letter vs. pseudo-letter classification) …

Many studies have identified regions within human ventral visual stream to be important for
object identification and categorization; however, knowledge of how perceptual information …

Reading is the remarkable human ability to decode the sounds and meaning of language
