Is peripheral vision better at detecting movement?
The peripheral parts of the visual field have excellent motion detection and the capability to perceive flicker stimuli. In addition to the central visual field the horizontal parts to the left and right are important, especially for road traffic.
What is the difference between field of vision and peripheral vision?
We normally see a wide area of the space in front of us. Without moving our eyes, we see not only what is straight ahead, but some of what is above, below, and off to either side. Most people are familiar with this as "peripheral vision." The entire area that we see is called the visual field.
What does peripheral vision tell you?
Your peripheral vision is your side vision, the ability to see things outside of your direct line of sight. You use peripheral vision when you see something out of the corner of your eye. Nerve cells called rods, located outside the macula (the center of your retina), help your peripheral vision.
Is peripheral vision better than central vision?
Peripheral vision has an advantage over central vision only because peripheral vision has more area.
