Effect of distant flankers on detection threshold. The ratio of flanked to unflanked threshold for all animals is plotted as a function of age. For the flanked threshold comparison, we used threshold measured at the furthest flank distance tested. The presence of distant flankers elevated target detection thresholds in the youngest animals despite extensive training.
