Report of Project MICHIGAN VISUAL RECOGNITION ALONG VARIOUS MERIDIANS OF THE VISUAL FIELD IX MONOCULAR AND BINOCULAR RECOGNITION OF PATTERNS OF SQUARES AND CIRCLES

摘要

This report contains the results of an investigation of human pattern reproduction capacity for linear binary targets presented tachistoscopically along various meridians of the frontal plane of the visual field. Eight-element targets composed of squares and circles were presented at inclinations to the horizontal of 0, 45, 90, and 135 degrees such that four elements appeared on either side of fixation. The ob¬servers were required to reproduce the target patterns when viewing was restricted to the right eye or left eye, and when viewing was binocular.nFewest errors of reproduction appeared for horizontal targets and most errors appeared for vertical targets. The numbers of errors for target elements on opposite sides of fixation were not materially affected by which eye was used for observing.
