Written by a leader in the field of low vision research, this book
discusses the role of vision in reading, focusing on the reading
performance of people with normal, healthy vision and people with
impaired vision. The author describes the influence of physical
properties of text on reading performance and the implications for
information processing in the visual pathways. Providing an
overview of seminal research, this book explores: different forms
of low vision that affect reading, text characteristics that
optimize reading for those with low vision, and principles
underlying the legibility of text and guidelines for displaying
text. Special topics include the role of the magnocellular pathway
in reading and dyslexia, Braille reading, and fonts for highway
signs. An accompanying CD contains reprints of the seminal series
of articles by Gordon E. Legge and colleagues on the psychophysics
of reading in normal and low vision, published between 1985 and
2001. This volume will be of interest to researchers and
professionals in the area of low vision, including graphics
engineers, HCI scientists, human factors specialists, low-vision
rehabilitation specialists, opthamologists, occupational
therapists, special education teachers, as well as cognitive
scientists and perceptual psychologists. It is also suitable for
advanced students with a background in the topic.
