DYNAMIC VISUAL ACUITY, EYE MOVEMENTS AND PERIPHERAL ACUITY FOR MOVING TARGETS

THE RELATIVE CONTRIBUTION TO DYNAMIC VISUAL ACUITY (DVA) OF EYE MOVEMENT BEHAVIOR AND PERIPHERAL ACUITY FOR MOVING TARGETS HAS NOT BEEN PREVIOUSLY INVESTIGATED. THE PRESENT PAPER REPORTS AN EXPERIMENT IN WHICH EYE MOVEMENTS WERE MEASURED WHILE DVA WAS DETERMINED. RETINAL TARGET IMAGE POSITION AND VELOCITY ERRORS DURING OCULAR PURSUIT WERE DERIVED FROM THE EYE MOVEMENT DATA AND WERE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH DATA DESCRIBING PERIPHERAL ACUITY FOR MOVING TARGETS TO DERIVE DVA AS A FUNCTION OF TARGET ANGULAR VELOCITY. THERE IS GOOD CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE MEASURED AND DERIVED VALUES OF DVA, INDICATING THAT POSITION AND VELOCITY ERRORS ARE THE MAIN DETERMINANTS OF DVA. /AUTHOR/
