Abstract
Sensitivity to moving stimuli varies systematically as a function of retinal eccentricity. For instance, the threshold for detecting motion (Johnston & Wright, 1983, 1985), the maximum and minimum displacements compatible with stroboscopic motion (Baker & Braddick, 1985), and the speeds at which velocity discrimination is optimal (McKee & Nakayama, 1984) all increase as a function of retinal eccentricity. These changes in motion processing with eccentricity are not surprising, because of the marked inhomogeneity of spatial processing across the visual field.
