title: Large-scale relative localization across spatial frequency channels.
abstract: Large-scale relative localization accuracy is measured with objects that stimulate different ranges of spatial frequencies. The author has previously made measurements using objects that stimulate only high-spatial-frequency channels or only low-spatial-frequency channels and found no effect of spatial frequency. In the present study, relative localization accuracy, i.e. interval discrimination, is measured with an object pair consisting of a low-spatial-frequency object and a high-spatial-frequency object. Relative localization accuracy for this cross-channel stimulus is as high as for the same-channel stimuli used previously, showing that the relative localization mechanism operates effectively across spatial frequency channels.
