We measured the duration of central visual persistence by testing normal subjects for the redundant target effect (RTE), ie the speeding up of reaction time to redundant visual stimuli in comparison to similar single stimuli. Brief LED-generated flashes were presented to normal subjects either singly or in a pair at peripheral visual field locations (5 or 30 deg along the horizontal meridian). Stimulus pairs could appear either in the same hemifield at different locations or in opposite hemifields with a stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) ranging between 0 and 100 ms. The subject's task was to press a key as soon as possible following the appearance of either a single stimulus or of the first stimulus in a pair. We found a robust and consistent overall RTE with double stimuli yielding faster RTs than single stimuli for both intrafield and interfield presentations. The effect decreased significantly from 0 ms to 40 ms SOA and at longer SOAs the speed of response to stimulus pairs was indistinguishable from that to a single stimulus. We believe that the longest SOA compatible with a reliable RTE (40 ms) reflects the duration of central persistence. Evoked-potential evidence gathered in our laboratory suggests that the locus of such persistence may be the extrastriate visual cortex.

We examined the effect of a central tracking task on visual target processing efficiency in a combined target detection / manual tracking paradigm. Participants performed a redundant-target task by itself, and concurrently with the tracking task. A measure of workload capacity gauged target processing efficiency. Processing was less efficient than predicted by a standard parallel race model under both levels of task load. However, data suggested no difference in processing efficiency between the single-and dual-task conditions. Our findings provide further evidence that processing capacity for peripheral visual targets is consistently limited but robust against changes to concurrent task load.
