Comparison of Performance on a Tracking Task Utilizing Binocular, Dominant and Non-Dominant Viewing.

Abstract

This study was designed to compare performance on a tracking task utilizing Binocular, Monocular (dominant) and Monocular (non-dominant) viewing. Performance was evaluated in terms of number of errors, error time and fatigue. Twenty-eight students at the USN Postgraduate School served as subjects for the experiment. Each subject performed in all three viewing conditions. Analysis of the data suggests that for the tracking task binocular vision is superior to the monocular vision. Furthermore, performance when the dominant eye is used is significantly better than when the non-dominant-eye is used. Finally, significantly less fatigue was reported under the binocular and dominant viewing conditions than under the non-dominant eye viewing condition. (Author)
