TLDR
From the results, the magnitude and extent of spatial interference across the visual field can be described quantitatively and serve as an example of how observed variations in peripheral threshold gradients might be achieved as a combination of underlying factors with different E2 values.About:

Crowding—An essential bottleneck for object recognition: A mini-review
TL;DR: The goal of this review is to provide a broad, balanced and succinct review that organizes and summarizes the diverse and scattered studies of crowding, and helps to explain it to the non-specialist.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crowding is unlike ordinary masking: Distinguishing feature integration from detection
TL;DR: The results suggest that ordinary masking blocks feature detection, so the signal disappears, while crowding (like "illusory conjunction") is excessive feature integration - detected features are integrated over an inappropriately large area because there are no smaller integration fields - so the integrated signal is ambiguous, jumbled with the mask.
Journal ArticleDOI
Visual Crowding: a fundamental limit on conscious perception and object recognition
TL;DR: The goal of this review is to provide a broad-based synthesis of the most recent findings in crowding, to define what crowding is and is not, and to set the stage for future work that will extend the understanding of crowding well beyond low-level vision.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial-frequency and contrast properties of crowding.
TL;DR: It is found that crowding exhibits spatial-tuning functions likemasking, but with generally broader bandwidths than those for masking, and that the magnitude of crowding increases monotonically with contrast ratio.
Journal ArticleDOI
Are faces processed like words? A diagnostic test for recognition by parts.
TL;DR: This work applies a diagnostic test for crowding to a word and a face, and finds that the critical spacing of the parts required for recognition is proportional to distance from fixation and independent of size and kind.

Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction effects in parafoveal letter recognition.
TL;DR: Property of the visual system, as well as the reader's knowledge of the language, must be relevant in order for the information in the text to be relevant.

An estimation and application of the human cortical magnification factor
J. Rovamo,Veijo Virsu +1 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the functional and structural properties of the visual system are very closely and similarly related across the whole retina.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vernier acuity, crowding and cortical magnification.
TL;DR: Crowding in the fovea and peripheral vision showed that when scaled in proportion to recent estimates of the cortical magnification factor, vernier acuity is as good in the periphery as it is centrally.
Journal ArticleDOI
The two-dimensional shape of spatial interaction zones in the parafovea.
Alexander Toet,Dennis M. Levi +1 more
TL;DR: The present study investigated the shape and extent of the region of interaction as a function of retinal location and the spatial interaction zones appear to be elongated radially, so that they have an elliptical shape.
Journal ArticleDOI
Visual resolution and contour interaction.
TL;DR: It is suggested that this contour interaction is related to the size of the receptive field (and hence to the resolving capacity) associated with the retinal region used to fixate the target.
