Abstract: International audience; We examined the effects of the visual size and the number of digits on reading numerical time information in young adults. Using an adaptive staircase procedure, minimal stimulus presentation duration (MSPD) for 80%-correct responses was determined for visual sizes ranging from 0.1° to 15°, when reading 1 (‘‘mm’’), 2 (‘‘hh:mm’’) or 3 (‘‘hh:mm:ss’’) 2-digit units of time information. All three time types revealed U-shaped relations between MSPD and visual size, with the characteristics of the rel...
