Abstract

Extreme temporal condition for visual identification task is held. A gaze-contingent eyetracking study was used to assess how presaccadic stimulus influences the one presented during a reactive saccade. A strong forward masking effect is found. Identification rate of second image is below chance, but still in accordance with previous studies, where no masking was present. Identification rate, erratic responses, statistical connection with alternative response (2AFC task), physical properties of saccades are similar to simple intrasaccadic identification task [3; 5]. Two aspects of transsaccadic visual perception were hypothesized, possessing common temporal structure: sensoric (geometric primitive detection) and gnostical (naturalistically valid object identification).
