Training Effects on the Resolution of Moving Targets—Dynamic Visual Acuity

Abstract
In initial 60-min sessions, the dynamic visual acuity (DVA)of 54 male college observers was determined over a range of target velocities (60, 90, 120, and 150 deg/s) at each of three durations (200, 400, and 600 ms). Following four 30-min practice sessions with the task, a final test session identical to the first was then conducted. Highly significant training effects on DVA were obtained; contrary to previous work, these effects were most marked for observers with initially poorer performance.
