Recent studies of eye movements in reading and other information processing tasks, such
as music reading, typing, visual search, and scene perception, are reviewed. The major …

Bouma's law of crowding predicts an uncrowded central window through which we can read
and a crowded periphery through which we cannot. The old discovery that readers make …

Purpose.: There is a need for standardized texts to assess reading performance, for multiple
equivalent texts for repeated measurements, and for texts equated across languages for …

Our goal is to link spatial and temporal properties of letter recognition to reading speed for
text viewed centrally or in peripheral vision. We propose that the size of the visual span—the …

Reading in peripheral vision is slow and requires large print, posing substantial difficulty for
patients with central scotomata. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of print …

OBJECTIVE: To observe the development of the preferred retinal locus (PRL) in a group of
patients with central scotomas caused by recent onset macular disease (MD). DESIGN …

The visual span in reading is the number of characters that can be recognized at a glance.
The shrinking visual span hypothesis attributes reading speed deficits in low vision, and …

The integration of visual, lexical, and oculomotor information is a critical part of reading. Mr.
Chips is an ideal-observer model that combines these sources of information optimally to …

purpose. Crowding, the adverse spatial interaction due to proximity of adjacent letters, has
been suggested as an explanation for slow reading in peripheral vision. The purpose of this …

Late age-related maculopathy (ARM) is responsible for the majority of blind registrations in
the Western world among persons over 50 years of age. It has devastating effects on quality …
