Effect of target contrast and divided attention on the useful field of view
(Elsevier, 2022-04-08)Previous research has shown that there is a cost of dividing attention between the central and peripheral visual fields in a complex environment. However, it is not clear how stimulus factors, such as the contrast of the ... -
The effect of text orientation, visual meridian, and inter-character spacing on word identification in the retinal periphery
(Pion, 2003)Previous research has demonstrated that the masking effects of flankers about a target in the peripheral retina are not isotropic. Rather, regions of lateral interaction are ellipsoid in shape with the major axis oriented ... -
Effectiveness and Invasiveness in Patient Medical Decision Aids
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2009-05-01)This research tested the hypothesis that including anecdotal evidence impacts treatment choice by influencing the trade-off between effectiveness and invasiveness. In addition, the role of decision-making style was examined. ... -
