Effects of Aging, Word Frequency, and Text Stimulus Quality on Reading across the Adult Lifespan: Evidence from Eye Movements
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Warrington, Kayleigh L.; McGowan, Victoria A.; Paterson, Kevin B.; White, Sarah J. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2018
Reductions in stimulus quality may disrupt the reading performance of older adults more when compared with young adults because of sensory declines that begin early in middle age. However, few studies have investigated adult age differences in the effects of stimulus quality on reading, and none have examined how this affects lexical processing…

Schoessow, Kimberly A.; Fletcher, Donald C.; Schuchard, Ronald A. – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2012
Age-related maculopathy is the leading cause of vision loss among adults in developed countries, and its prevalence is expected to double over the next decade. The two forms of age-related maculopathy--exudative and nonexudative--are capable of affecting the macula, with potential symptoms including decreased contrast sensitivity, decreased visual…

Visual Memory for Objects Following Foveal Vision Loss
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Geringswald, Franziska; Herbik, Anne; Hofmüller, Wolfram; Hoffmann, Michael B.; Pollmann, Stefan – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2015
Allocation of visual attention is crucial for encoding items into visual long-term memory. In free vision, attention is closely linked to the center of gaze, raising the question whether foveal vision loss entails suboptimal deployment of attention and subsequent impairment of object encoding. To investigate this question, we examined visual…

Visual Data Mining: An Exploratory Approach to Analyzing Temporal Patterns of Eye Movements
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Yu, Chen; Yurovsky, Daniel; Xu, Tian – Infancy, 2012
Infant eye movements are an important behavioral resource to understand early human development and learning. But the complexity and amount of gaze data recorded from state-of-the-art eye-tracking systems also pose a challenge: how does one make sense of such dense data? Toward this goal, this article describes an interactive approach based on…

Vision in Children and Adolescents with Autistic Spectrum Disorder: Evidence for Reduced Convergence
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Milne, Elizabeth; Griffiths, Helen; Buckley, David; Scope, Alison – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2009
Evidence of atypical perception in individuals with ASD is mainly based on self report, parental questionnaires or psychophysical/cognitive paradigms. There have been relatively few attempts to establish whether binocular vision is enhanced, intact or abnormal in those with ASD. To address this, we screened visual function in 51 individuals with…

Phenotypical Characteristics of Idiopathic Infantile Nystagmus with and without Mutations in "FRMD7"
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Thomas, Shery; Proudlock, Frank A.; Sarvananthan, Nagini; Roberts, Eryl O.; Awan, Musarat; McLean, Rebecca; Surendran, Mylvaganam; Kumar, A. S. Anil; Farooq, Shegufta J.; Degg, Chris; Gale, Richard P.; Reinecke, Robert D.; Woodruff, Geoffrey; Langmann, Andrea; Lindner, Susanne; Jain, Sunila; Tarpey, Patrick; Raymond, F. Lucy; Gottlob, Irene – Brain, 2008
Idiopathic infantile nystagmus (IIN) consists of involuntary oscillations of the eyes. The familial form is most commonly X-linked. We recently found mutations in a novel gene "FRMD7" (Xq26.2), which provided an opportunity to investigate a genetically defined and homogeneous group of patients with nystagmus. We compared clinical features and eye…
