Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Visual span represents a visual field used in reading, being defined by a number of letters that can be accurately recognized without 'moving the eyes. It is thought to be the sensory bottleneck for reading. An interesting problem is which direction the size of visual span is wider between horizontal or vertical ones. I measured the visual span for horizontal and vertical directions with Japanese and Americans. I found that the size was the same between Japanese and Americans for a vertical direction, but that it was different between them for a horizontal direction.
