Visual Perception Quiz

The video tutorial explores two types of eye movements: psychotic and smooth pursuit. It explains how psychotic movements create a blind spot when shifting focus between two points. The smooth pursuit movement is described as a necessary skill for tracking moving objects. The tutorial also demonstrates how visual perception can be manipulated using these eye movements, particularly in attention and focus exercises.

What is a saccadic eye movement?

• A continuous focus on a single point

• A slow adjustment to light changes

• A rapid movement between two points

• A smooth tracking of a moving object

Why are we blind in between saccadic eye movements?

• Because our eyes are closed

• Because the light is too dim

• Because the movement is too fast to process

• Because our brain ignores the movement

What is the purpose of smooth pursuit?

• To adjust to different light levels

• To track moving objects

• To focus on stationary objects

• To enhance peripheral vision

How does smooth pursuit differ from saccadic movements?

• It is slower and continuous

• It is faster and more abrupt

• It requires more light

• It involves blinking

In the coin trick example, why do you lose sight of the coin?

• Because the light is dim

• Because the coin is moving too fast

• Because your attention is diverted

• Because the coin is too small

What does the coin trick demonstrate about visual perception?

• That perception is independent of attention

• That perception can be easily manipulated

• That perception is always accurate

• That perception is unaffected by movement
