Abstract
Practice with brief-exposure techniques significantly increased central acuity, as measured by perception of Landolt broken circles, but not peripheral acuity. Correlational techniques analyzing the various positions on the periphery of the retina tested did not indicate that any one position tested could well predict the total score of the peripheral test. The development of visual acuity is discussed as an example of perceptual motor skill, amenable to the learning process, rooted in the effector processes basic to adjustment.Keywords
