We further parametrically characterized motion coherence performance, in a wide range of motion speeds (5.4 27.27°/s) used in different studies.
The current data cannot establish a causal relationship between dorsal stream functioning (as assessed by motion coherence performance) and relatively more or less transient onset/offset object recognition.
Despite all participants being skilled readers, motion coherence performance - a skill requiring dorsal stream processing, predicted rapid visual word identification, a presumed ventral stream task.
Although both groups only differed in motion coherence performance (a dorsal stream measure), the good motion coherence group showed superior contrast sensitivity for object recognition on the abrupt, but not the ramped presentation tasks.

This argument has been used to explain elevated threshold responses on motion coherence tasks where threshold performance relies on the detection of signal from noise [23], and elevated thresholds when visual noise is added to luminance targets [24].
When the transient nature of the onset/offset of the object was reduced, by gradually ramping the contrast between foreground and background, the good and poor motion coherence groups showed comparable performance.
This was achieved by manipulating the degree to which line-drawings of objects appeared suddenly or not by including abrupt and ramped onset tasks, and comparing two subgroups presumed to differ only in their performance on motion coherence ability - a task considered to be representative of dorsal stream functioning.
Participants were informed that the feedback was not based on performance in trials without motion coherence (baseline trials, see below).
Performance on the visual motion coherence task correlated with moving versus stationary sound discrimination for both patient groups.
A recent study by Levy, Walsh and Lavidor [ 30] compared two groups of skilled adult readers, subdivided by performance on a detection of motion coherence task.
As detailed in Table 3 and displayed in Fig. 1A, and consistent with the motion coherence threshold results, EL, the left ventral patient, performed normally in all conditions, while the performance of SM, the right ventral patient, was out of the normal range for the slower (5.4°/s) and the fastest (27.27°/s) speeds, but not the medium speed (10.8°/s).

Since I tried Ludwig back in 2017, I have been constantly using it in both editing and translation. Ever since, I suggest it to my translators at ProSciEditing.
