Don't look now! Social elements are harder to avoid during scene viewing
Vision Res. 2024 Jan 6;216:108356. doi: 10.1016/j.visres.2023.108356. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRegions of social importance (i.e., other people) attract attention in real world scenes, but it is unclear how automatic this bias is and how it might interact with other guidance factors. To investigate this, we recorded eye movements while participants were explicitly instructed to avoid looking at one of two objects in a scene (either a person or a non-social object). The results showed that, while participants could follow these instructions, they still made errors (especially on the first saccade). Crucially, there wer...

Contribution of internal noise and calculation efficiency to face discrimination deficits in older adults
Vision Res. 2024 Jan 3;216:108348. doi: 10.1016/j.visres.2023.108348. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTClassification images (CIs) measured in a face discrimination task differ significantly between older and younger observers. These age differences are consistent with the hypothesis that older adults sample diagnostic face information less efficiently, or have higher levels of internal noise, compared to younger adults. The current experiments assessed the relative contributions of efficiency and internal noise to age differences in face discrimination using the external noise masking and double-pass response consistency par...

Foveal crowding for large and small Landolt Cs: Similarity and Attention
Vision Res. 2024 Jan 2;215:108346. doi: 10.1016/j.visres.2023.108346. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe compare the recognition of foveal crowded Landolt Cs of two sizes: brief (40 ms), large, low-contrast Cs and high-contrast (1 sec) tests at the resolution limit of the visual system. In different series, the test Landolt C was surrounded by two identical distractors located symmetrically along the horizontal or by a single distractor. The distractors were Landolt Cs or rings. At the resolution limit, the critical spacing was similar in the two series and did not depend on the type of distractor. The result supports the hy...

Precision in spatial working memory examined with mouse pointing
Vision Res. 2023 Dec 30;215:108343. doi: 10.1016/j.visres.2023.108343. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe capacity of visuospatial working memory (VSWM) is limited. However, there is continued debate surrounding the nature of this capacity limitation. The resource model (Bays et al., 2009) proposes that VSWM capacity is limited by the precision with which visuospatial features can be retained. In one of the few studies of spatial working memory, Schneegans and Bays (2016) report that memory guided pointing responses show a monotonic decrease in precision as set size increases, consistent with resource models. Here we report...

Weak correlations between visual abilities in healthy older adults, despite long-term performance stability
Vision Res. 2023 Dec 23;215:108355. doi: 10.1016/j.visres.2023.108355. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTUsing batteries of visual tests, most studies have found that there are only weak correlations between the performance levels of the tests. Factor analysis has confirmed these results. This means that a participant excelling in one test may rank low in another test. Hence, there is very little evidence for a common factor in vision. In visual aging research, cross-sectional studies have repeatedly found that healthy older adults' performance is strongly deteriorated in most visual tests compared to young adults. However, al...
