Abstract
Subjects were required to identify and localize digits or letters from displays containing eight elements across the visual field, four elements in the left visual field, or four elements in the right visual field. Exposure duration, presentation condition, and type of material were found to affect recall. In addition, an interaction between element position and exposure duration was found for localization scores.
