Representative search displays used in the behavioral experiment, illustrating the relationship between object eccentricity and retinal acuity. (A) Target present display, with the teddy bear target shown enlarged at inset. Note that all objects would be perceived as blurred when viewed from a central starting fixation position (blue dot). (B) The same target in the same search display viewed after its fixation; the red arrows and blue dots show representative eye movements and fixations during search. (C) A target-absent trial in which the first fixated object was a high-similarity bearlike distractor, again with representative search behavior.
