Crowding distorts features, not objects: structured target confusions in a 4AFC conjunction task
Visual crowding is the disruption of peripheral object identification by nearby flanking clutter. It remains unclear whether crowding disrupts the bound representation of an object or degrades the object's component features separately. We addressed this with a 4AFC conjunction-report task in which observers reported both the orientation and the brightness of every target. Target Gabors at 6…
