parafoveal

Transposed-letter effects in reading: Evidence from eye movements and parafoveal preview.

The influence of parafoveal words on foveal inspection time.

Evidence for letter scanning using parafoveal priming.

In languages that read from left to right, the word immediately to the right of the fixated word is known as the parafoveal word.

Peripheral and parafoveal cueing and masking effects on saccadic selectivity in a gaze-contingent window paradigm.

On each fixation and in real time, parafoveal text is magnified to equalize its perceptual impact with that of concurrent foveal text.

Parafovea or the parafoveal belt is a region in the retina that circumscribes the fovea and is part of the macula lutea.

In donor eyes with grossly normal maculas/ the number of foveal cones is stable and the number of parafoveal rods decreases by 30% over adulthood.

In this form of the disease, parafoveal atrophy, right angle venules, RPE pigment plaques and retinal crystals are the prevailing signs.

The parafoveal magnification paradigm (Miellet, O'Donnell & Sereno, 2009) compensates for how visual acuity drops off as a function of retinal eccentricity.

During the day, this information is sensed and relayed by neurons with large receptive fields, whereas parafoveal neurons with small receptive fields do so in the dark.

IJRT is probably best defined as an acquired capillary ectasia (i.e., a focal expansion or outpouching) and dilation in the parafoveal region, leading to vascular incompetence.

In reading, information within 2 (approximately 6-8 characters) of the point of fixation is processed in foveal vision, while information up to 5 of visual angle benefits from parafoveal preview.

IJRT may also be referred to by various names, including idiopathic juxtafoveolar, macular, perifoveal or parafoveal telangiectasis, depending on the source.All refer to the same syndrome.It is commonly under-diagnosed.

An effect of parafoveal preview has also been found for emotional scenes presented in the parafovea, with people more likely shift their fixation point on emotional stimuli than neutral stimuli, when both options are presented parafoveally.

The benefit the parafoveal preview has is also mediated by how common the word in the parafovea is, with less common words providing less of a reduction in fixation duration when they reach foveal fixation.
