Document Summary
Degree of detail that can be seen. Snellen eye chart used to determine visual acuity. Oculomotor system tracks and keeps image on fovea. Want to keep objects foveated (we want objects to be on the fovea) 6 muscles that move the eye in 6 directions. May be directly linked to dynamic visual acuity. May also be linked to dynamic visual acuity. One eye processes information and transmits it to the brain more quickly than the other. Used in rotational skills (dance, diving, gymnastics, figure skating) Rotation of the head delayed relative to the body"s rotation. Vor = your eyes move with your head so your environment is static. You can override your vor by focusing on an object that moves with your head (look at thumb while you shake your head) Quiet eye (stare at task relevant objects for a longer periods of time) Targeting skills (people know ahead of time which things to target, fixate items)
