DYNAMIC DEPTH PERCEPTION.

Abstract

A review of research in visual acuity and depth perception of moving objects disclosed differing estimates of the relation between dynamic and static vision performance. Additionally, two distinct types of responses appear in distance estimates for moving targets as well as the elapsed time estimates for partially concealed targets. The possible relation of this depth estimation error dichotomy to lateral phoria is discussed. An experiment demonstrates that the depth estimation error dichotomy, if it exists, is not related to phoria and is independent of the direction of target motion. Further evidence of the lack of correlation between dynamic and static depth perception is presented. (Author)
