This analysis highlights the crucial link between attention and perception in peripheral vision, suggesting attention types significantly influence visual understanding.
I agree that, in some literature, the term “attention” is ill-defined and the constraints of peripheral vision have been overlooked. However, I disagree with omitting the empirical studies that have emphasized the importance of defining, operationalizing, and manipulating different types of attention and have investigated their effects on perception as a function of eccentricity and polar angle in peripheral vision.
