TL;DR: Temporal processing in patients with cerebral vision loss is impaired to a certain extent independently from perimetric light detection performance, which may partly explain reported subjective perceptual problems.

TL;DR: This work investigated how the size of the sustained attentional focus influences double-pulse resolution (DPR) thresholds mapped across the visual field in a sample of 95 healthy subjects using a 9-fold interleaved adaptive algorithm (YAAP).

TL;DR: Training-induced improvement of light detection in patients with visual field loss thus generalized to dynamic visual functions, suggesting that similar neural mechanisms may underlie the impairment and subsequent training-induced functional recovery of both light detection and temporal processing.

TL;DR: Binocular double-pulse resolution measurements described here are an excellent method for assessment of vigilance and mental alertness, show strong time-of-day differences, are highly reliable across successive measurements, and can be fully automated.

TL;DR: Brain-injured patients with aphasia and children with language-learning impairments, i.e. those who have been diagnosed as performing poorly on temporal-order tasks and in discriminating stop-consonant vowel syllables, can effectively be trained by a feedback training procedure in which the SOA is manipulated.
