2. You have two types of vision
- Central
Anmerkungen:
- Central vision is what you use to look at things directly and to see details.
- Adam Larson and Lester Loschky
(2009) showed people photographs of
common scenes, such as a kitchen or a
living room. In some of the
photographs the outside of the image
was obscured, and in others, the
central part of the image was
obscured. The images were shown for
very short amounts of time and were
purposely shown with a gray filter so
they were somewhat hard to see. Then
they asked the research participants
to identify what they were looking at.
- Larson and Loschky found that if the central part of the photo was missing, people could still
identify what they were looking at. But when the peripheral part of the image was missing, then
they couldn’t say whether the scene was a living room or a kitchen. They tried obscuring different
amounts of the photo. They concluded that central vision is the most critical for specific object
recognition, but peripheral vision is used for getting the gist of a scene.
- Peripheral
Anmerkungen:
- Peripheral vision encompasses the rest of the visual field—areas that are visible, but that you’re not looking at directly. .
- Being able to see things out of the corner of your eye is
certainly useful, but new research from Kansas State
University shows that peripheral vision is more
important in understanding the world around us than
most people realize. It seems that we get information on
what type of scene we’re looking at from our peripheral
vision.
