THE EFFECT OF TARGET VELOCITY, EXPOSURE TIME AND ANTICIPATORY TRACKING TIME ON DYNAMIC VISUAL ACUITY

Abstract

The study demonstrated that acuity for moving targets is fairly good when test conditions permit the observer to achieve optimal tracking under relatively natural target viewing conditions. However, it has also been shown that target movement does have some detrimental effect on visual performance, this effect being marked under brief viewing conditions. (Author)
