Abstract(in English) This study tested the hypothesis that the magnocelluar pathway may provide the signal that allows the rapid detection and localization of objects in the peripheral visual field prior to foveation. If this is the case, localization accuracy for magnocellular-type stimuli (e.g., motion) may be superior to that for parvocelluar-type stimuli (e.g., colour). Localization accuracy for eccentrically presented motion and colour stimuli was measured using method of constant stimuli (absolute & relative location takes). Reaction time measures for the detection of motion and colour stimuli were also completed. Results showed that there was no significant difference between the localization accuracy of motion stimuli and colour stimuli (p>0.05). However, reaction times were significantly faster for motion stimuli than colour stimuli (p<0.05). Reaction time measures provide support for the hypothesis that the Mpathway may provide the signal that allows the rapid detection of peripheral visual objects.
