Trial outline (A) and eccentricity conditions (B) for Experiment 1. First, participants were presented with a central cross on which they were instructed to fixate throughout the trial. Then, six randomly chosen target letters were shown at an eccentricity of either 4°, 7°, or 10° of visual angle from the central fixation point. Target letters were terminated with pattern masks. Lastly, a blank screen probed participants to report the letters they had seen.
