Activity 2.4.2: Student Response SheetVISUAL PERCEPTIONRead the background information at each station and complete the activity. Collect data and answer questions on the sheet below. ACTIVITY 1: Visual AcuityVisual Acuity, right eye: 20/ _______Visual Acuity, left eye: 20/ _______Your friend swears that no one can possibly have better than 20/20 vision. Use what you have learned about the Snellen eye examination chart and what numbers such as 20/20 really mean to set him/her straight.ACTIVITY 2: Astigmatism and Blind SpotIs astigmatism present in your right eye? _______Is astigmatism present in your left eye? _______If yes, were you aware of the astigmatism before today? _______If yes, do you wear glasses to correct the astigmatism? _______At what distance did the dot disappear during the blind spot test for the right eye? __________ cmAt what distance did the dot disappear during the blind spot test for the left eye? __________ cmExplain what is happening in the eye to cause astigmatism. How does this impact how you see?List at least two circumstances in which it would be important to be aware of your blind spots.ACTIVITY 3: Visual MappingWhat is the diameter of the fovea centralis? _______ mmHow does the size of the fovea centralis of your eye compare to that of others in your group?Explain the importance of the fovea centralis to your 9-year-old sister.ACTIVITY 4: Color VisionWere any of the strands of yarn difficult to match? ________ If yes, list the colors that were difficult to match.To your knowledge, are you color perception deficient? ________Is anyone in your family color perception deficient? ________ If yes, who?Given that the previous question asks about family members and color perception deficiency, what can you infer about the development of this condition?Some cities hang their traffic lights from left to right, rather than from top to bottom. Explain why this might cause a problem for a driver with red-green perception deficiency.Explain the specific roles of rods and cones in the eye.If we have three different types of cones – red cones, blue cones, and green cones – how do we see such a wide range of colors? ACTIVITY 5: Depth PerceptionRecord the distance between the arrows on the depth perception tester for each scenario given in the chartNo BackgroundWhite BackgroundBlack BackgroundRight Eye OpencmcmcmLeft Eye OpencmcmcmBoth Eyes OpencmcmcmWhich background provided you with the best depth perception? Why do you think this is the case?List several careers or activities in which depth perception plays an important role.Why might driving be dangerous for someone with poor depth perception?ACTIVITY 6: AccommodationWhen looking at the “E” on your finger, was the “E” on the chart blurry or in focus?When looking at the “E” on the chart, was the “E” on your finger blurry or in focus?What happened when you closed and opened your right eye?What happened when you closed and opened your left eye?Judging from your results, do you think you are emmetropic, myopic, or hyperopic? Explain.What is accommodation in the eye? How are muscles involved in this process?ACTIVITY 7: Near Point (OPTIONAL)Near point, left eye ______cmNear Point, right eye ______ cmAs you age, your near point will change. Do you think it will increase or decrease? Why?Why is the near point closer for a myopic person than that of a hyperopic person?List several activities during which the near point is important.ACTIVITY 8: Peripheral VisionOut of 20, how many cards from the black/white set were identified correctly? ________Out of 20, how many cards from the colored set were identified correctly? ________Which did you see better using your peripheral vision: black and white or color?Using rods and cones in your answer, explain your answer to Question 3.List some situations where you would most likely rely on your peripheral vision.ACTIVITY 9: AfterimagesWhat afterimage did you see after looking at the red vinyl? What afterimage did you see after looking at the green vinyl?Explain what happens in the eye to cause an afterimage.In the space below, draw in color the afterimage of one of the King cards from the deck of illusion cards. Why did you see the images in the colors that you saw?ACTIVITY 10: IllusionsFor each of the Jacks, explain why the image that you see is impossible.Hearts:Diamonds:Clubs:Spades:The Diamonds cards 2-10 involve perception. Look at the 3 of Diamonds card. All three figures are the same height. Explain how the illusion of varying heights is created.The Clubs cards 2-10 test your ability to judge sizes and shapes. Look at the 9 of Clubs card. Although the two center circles are the same size, the one surrounded by smaller circles appears much larger. Why do you think this occurs?The Spades cards 2-10 illustrate illusions of movement and the perception of movement. Look at the Spades cards 4 and 5. Place the cards side by side. Describe what you see.Now move one of the cards while keeping the other card still. What do you see? Explain your findings.Now, move the cards in the opposite directions. What do you see?ACTIVITY 11: Optics of the Human EyeWhat do you notice about the movement of your hand when you view it on the retinal screen?Is the image of the picture you drew inverted? Turn the picture upside down. How does the image look now?Since the image on the retina is inverted, why don’t we see things upside down?What structure in the eye does the water represent? Explain the function of this liquid. Describe what needed to occur for the distant object to be in focus. How does this relate to what actually happens in the human eye? What happened to the image when you placed the retina in the FAR slot? What does a far-sighted person see when he/she looks at near objects?What happens to the clarity of the image when you decrease the pupil size? How does this relate to squinting? Does a far-sighted person have trouble seeing distant objects? Why was it not necessary to change the lens to look far away?What is the focal length of lens that corrects hyperopia? __________ mm To correct hyperopia, is it necessary to move the image formed by the eye closer or farther away from the eye’s lens system? Does this require a convergent or divergent lens? NOTE: Information about lenses is found on the station instructions, but you may do some Internet research to help you answer Questions 11 and 12.Are the surfaces of the corrective lens that you used on the eye model concave and convex? Explain.What happens to the image when you move the screen to the NEAR position? This is what a nearsighted person sees when looking at a near object. What happens to the image when you focus the eye on a distant object? This is what a nearsighted person sees when they look at a distant object. What is the focal length of a lens that corrects myopia? ________ mm To correct myopia, is it necessary to move the image formed by the eye closer or farther away from the eye’s lens system? Does this require a convergent or divergent lens? Are the surfaces of the corrective lens that you used on the eye model concave and convex? Explain.*Questions for Stations 1-10 are adapted from Carolina: Visual Perception Kit; Questions from Station 11 are adapted from the PASCO Eye Model Kit. ................
