This week, you will be reading about the anatomy of the eye, the differences between rods and cones, and certain limitations of our visual system. For your Week Two activity, I am asking you to conduct another experiment… this time with a partner! In this experiment, you are going to conduct a test of peripheral vision.
After you watch the video explanation and conduct the experiment, I want you to reply to this discussion topic and provide the following information about what happened during the activity
1. List the *order* in which each of the four things were detected:
For example, in the experiment I did in the video, Billy detected things in this order:
1st: Motion
2nd: Shape
3rd: Color
4th: Text
2. Based on what your textbook says about rods, cones, peripheral vision, and foveal vision, would you have predicted the order in which you observed in your experiment? If yes, explain from a physiological standpoint, why your findings confirm your prediction. If no, why not? What explanation might you provide as to why your results aren’t what you would have expected?
