Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on visual perception, including face recognition, peripheral vision, object categorization, and the influence of scene context on visual processing. It also covers topics such as form-deprivation myopia, amblyopia, and the effects of defocus on ocular growth. Studies investigate navigational experience, visual representations, and confidence in perceptual tasks. Research extends to the perception of surface materials, stereokinetic effects, contour completion, and multiple-object tracking. Eye movement patterns, visual attention, and the processing of visual information in naturalistic settings are also examined.
