A1.02
Division of labour between foveal and peripheral vision
Cards in this group · 8
- A1.02.1The fovea delivers high resolution but covers a tiny angle
- A1.02.2Peripheral vision has low resolution but is sensitive to motion and luminance change
- A1.02.3Periphery can signal presence but not convey detail
- A1.02.4Peripheral flicker forcibly captures attention
- A1.02.5Foveal and peripheral vision cooperate in natural viewing through a "peripheral detection, foveal confirmation" two-stage process
- A1.02.6Detail-reading information belongs at the expected fixation point, change cues belong where periphery can reach them
- A1.02.7Requiring central and peripheral vision to monitor two independent streams creates resource competition
- A1.02.8A slow peripheral change is easily missed entirely after prolonged fixation on one point
