• Visual field
• Adaptation
• Sensory deprivation

We used Goldmann kinetic perimetry to compare how training and congenital auditory deprivation may affect the size of the visual field We measured the ability of action video game players and deaf observers to detect small moving lights at various locations in the central (around 30, from fixation) and peripheral (around 60 degrees) visual fields Experiment 1 found that 10 habitual video game players showed significantly larger central and peripheral field areas than 10 controls. In Experiment 2 we found that 13 congenitally deaf observers had significantly larger visual fields than 13 hearing controls for both the peripheral and central fields. Here the greatest differences were found in the lower parts of the fields Comparison of the two groups showed that whereas VGP players have a more uniform increase in field size in both central and peripheral fields deaf observers show non-uniform increases with greatest increases in lower parts of the visual field.
