Abstract

The information processing capacity of the visual periphery was investigated in two experiments using stimuli of known relative information content. The results of Experiment I showed redundant patterns to be easiest to indentify at all peripheral angles tested (5,10,20, and 30 deg) as compared to intermediate and non-redundant patterns Performance on all patterns decreased as peripheral angle increased. In Experiment ll, simultaneous fovea and peripheral vision was required in a discrimination task. Performance was above chance only when the peripheral (7-deg) pattern was redundant.
