Silvia Guidi; Anna Kosovicheva; Benjamin Wolfe – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2024
Drivers must respond promptly to a wide range of possible road hazards, from trucks veering into their lane to pedestrians stepping onto the road. While drivers' vision is tested at the point of licensure, visual function can degrade, and drivers may not notice how these changes impact their ability to notice and respond to events in the world in…

Clark, Catherine; Guediche, Sara; Lallier, Marie – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2021
Reading involves mapping combinations of a learned visual code (letters) onto meaning. Previous studies have shown that when visual word recognition is challenged by visual degradation, one way to mitigate these negative effects is to provide "top-down" contextual support through a written congruent sentence context. Crowding is a…

Vikesdal, Gro Horgen; Mon-Williams, Mark; Langaas, Trine – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2020
Optometric disorders are likely to increase the difficulties experienced by an individual who is struggling to read. There are some reports of a higher incidence of visual abnormalities in children with dyslexia, but there has been little investigation into adults. We therefore investigated the optometric status of a population comprising children…
