Eccentricity effect
text:
The eccentricity effect is a visual phenomenon that affects visual search. As retinal eccentricity increases, the observer is slower and less accurate to detect an item they are searching for. Visual search tends to be better when the target is presented closest/more centrally to the fovea, and worsens when the target is further in the periphery of the retina. This effect was first confirmed in research by Carrasco, Evert, Chang, and Katz in 1995, and was replicated by Wolfe, O'Neill and Bennet
