1.1 1 xml info:srw/schema/1/mods-v3.2 Awasthi Bhuvanesh author Friedman Jason author Williams Mark author 2011 Distinct visual pathways are selectively tuned for processing specific spatial frequencies. Recently, Awasthi, Friedman and Williams (2011) reported fast categorisation of faces at periphery, arguing for primacy of low spatial frequency (LSF) information in face processing. However, previous studies have also documented rapid categorization of places and natural scenes. Here, we tested if the LSF advantage is face specific or also involved in place perception. We used visually guided reaching as a continuous behavioral measure to examine the processing of LSF and high spatial frequency (HSF) hybrids, presented at the periphery. Subjects reached out and touched targets and their movements were recorded. The trajectories revealed that LSF interference was both 95 ms earlier and stronger for faces than places and was lateralized to the left visual field. The early processing of LSF information supports the assumption that faces are prioritised and provides a (neural) framework for such specialised processing. exported from refbase (https://refbase.nfshost.com/show.php?record=25), last updated on Sun, 04 Dec 2011 12:55:39 +0000 text https://refbase.nfshost.com/files/awasthi/2011/25_Awasthi_etal2011.pdf 10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2011.08.027 Awasthi_etal2011 2011 continuing periodical academic journal 49 13 3583 3590 1
