Combining vernier acuity and visual backward masking as a sensitive test for visual temporal deficits in aging research

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili

Performance in many everyday situations slows down when age increases. The causes of slowing down may be found on any stage of information processing. Here, we show that the combination of a vernier acuity task and the shine-through backward masking paradi ...
