Group 2 Flashcards
For efficient single binocular vision to occur, the retinal images for the two eyes must be in: good focus and of
similar size and shape.
good focus and of similar size and shape.
reviewed the theory of corresponding retinal points developed by Muller, Lotze, Hering, Panum, and other 19th century investigators.
Kenneth Ogle (1950)
According to _____, each light-sensitive element in the retinal mosaic (rod or cone) has a specific local sign: when a particular retinal element is stimulated, the individual experiences a specific subjective visual direction with respect to the directionalization of the fovea.
Lotze
spoke of the visual direction as the subjective direction associated with the fovea when a given object is fixated
Hering (1879)
according to him, when a particular retinal element is stimulated, the individual experiences a specific subjective visual direction with respect to the directionalization of the fovea.
Lotze
Visual direction with respect to the eye.
Occulocentric directionalization
Visual direction with respect to the head
Egocentric directionalization
True or false: If fixation movements are made while the head remains motionless, occulocentric directionalization (for each fovea) does not change, but egocentric directionalization does change.
True
When the two eyes steadily fixate a point in a straight ahead direction.
PRIMARY VISUAL DIRECTION
pairs of points, one in each retina, having the same visual direction and sending their nerve impulses to the same point in the visual cortex.
Corresponding Retinal Points
The visual fields for the two eyes overlap except for the_______ crescents, which are imaged on the______ retina.
temporal; nasal
points have the same visual direction
Corresponding Retinal Points
all points in object space that form images on pairs of corresponding retinal points form an imaginary surface known as
Horopter
usually slightly curved surface, either concave or convex toward the observer
Horopter
According to Ogle, if the corresponding retinal points for the two eyes were symmetrically placed, the shape of the horopter would be____ or known as Vieth-Muller Circle
circle
The shape of the horopter after it is determined experimentally
flatter curvature
for a short distance the horopter is____ toward the observer
concave
for longer distance the horopter is____ toward the observer
convex
for a distance of about 1m (the abathic distance), it is in the form of a ____
flat plane
True or False: The fact that the experimentally determined horopter, does not coincide with the Vieth-Muller circle has been interpreted to indicate that the separation of corresponding retinal points is an equal on the nasal and temporal halves of the retina
True
The method that is most commonly used, providing the most consistent results.
Apparent Frontoparallel Plane Method
The method that is most theoretically correct is that of determining the position of each of a number of points (in the horizontal meridian) so that subjective visual directions of the images formed on the two retinas are identical
Identical Visual Direction
The two methods that Ogle describes in experimentally determining the horopter:
Apparent Frontoparallel Plane Method and Identical Visual Direction
refers to the process by which the images formed on the retina of the two eyes are combined into a single percept
Sensory fusion
often used as a synonym for sensory fusion
Unification
In 1856, Panum demonstrated that within certain limits fusion was possible when the two retinal images of an object were not formed on corresponding retinal points.
Panum’s Fusional Areas
______ dimension of Panum’s fusional areas was somewhat greater than the ______ dimension.
Horizontal; vertical
The horizontal dimension of the panum’s fusional area varied with the ?
peripheral visual angle
In the horizontal width of Panum’s fusional area, a visual angle of 1 degree was approximately
8 minutes of arc
Visual angle of 4 degrees is approximately
12 minutes of arc
Visual angle of 12 degrees is equivalent to __________ minutes of arc
25 minutes of arc
