Crowding, generally defined as the deleterious influence of nearby contours on visual
discrimination, is ubiquitous in spatial vision. Crowding impairs the ability to recognize …

Different fields of research within the cognitive sciences have investigated basic processes
in reading, but progress has been hampered by limited cross-fertilization. We propose a …

Although the causes of dyslexia are still debated, all researchers agree that the main
challenge is to find ways that allow a child with dyslexia to read more words in less time …

Developmental dyslexia (DD) is the most common neurodevelopmental disorder (about
10% of children across cultures) characterized by severe difficulties in learning to read …

The size and shape of printed symbols determine the legibility of text. In this paper, we focus
on print size because of its crucial role in understanding reading performance and its …

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 …

The scientific study of reading has a rich history that spans disciplines from vision science to
linguistics, psychology, cognitive neuroscience, neurology, and education. The study of …

The visual span for reading is the number of letters, arranged horizontally as in text, that can
be recognized reliably without moving the eyes. The visual-span hypothesis states that the …

Purpose.: Perceptual learning has been shown to be effective in improving visual functions
in the normal adult visual system, as well as in adults with amblyopia. In this study, the …

Purpose: The continuous-text reading-acuity test MNREAD is designed to measure the
reading performance of people with normal and low vision. This test is used to estimate …
