Abstract

Two experiments are reported examining whether the size (3 and 15 degrees of visual angle) and exposure duration (10 and 200 msec) of stimuli interacted in determining global/local processing dominance using stimuli whit global and local levels located at the same (Experiment 1) or different retinal locus (Experiment 2). The results showed that global/local processing dominance depends on the size and eccentricity of global and local information. The exposure duration of stimuli modulated global/local dominance processing depending on both, the size of the stimuli and the same/different eccentricity of global and local information.
