Hand-Eye Coordination and Visual Perception

            
             The experiment examined was the effects of visual perception on hand eye coordination between men and women. Twenty Santiago Canyon College students and faculty were selected to throw a bean bag into a circular target under three conditions: both eyes open, left eye covered, and right eye covered. In this experiment, it was expected that males would do better than females and that the score with using both eyes would be greater than having the left or right eye covered. The purpose of this study is to show the effects of visual perception on hand-eye coordination between genders. The results show that there was no statistical significance between gender and visual perception.
             The Effects of Visual Perception on Hand-Eye Coordination Between Genders.
             In general terms, it is often believed that a individuals hand-eye coordination is better when it is unaffected by visual perception. For example a basketball player would be able to play better if he was able to see with both eyes rather than just one. In this experiment the researcher measured the effect of visual perception on hand eye coordination between genders. Previous research indicates that elite male athletes made fewer errors than elite female athletes (Dogan). Another study showed that between novice, intermediate and expert snooker players, the experts who were said to have better perceptual skills ( Abernethy, Neal, & Koning ).
             The purpose of this present study would be to see the effect visual perception has on hand eye coordination between different genders. The prediction for this study would be that the males will score higher than the females and that participants will score better using both eyes rather than one eye covered.
             Method.
             Participants.
             Twenty participants (10 males, 10 females). The participants included students currently enrolled at Santiago Canyon College and janitors that worked at Santiago Canyon College. The motivation of participants to volunteer in this experiment was extra credit and to help students meet their quota for the experiment.

INTRODUCTION Perception is a vital element of the human being as it allows individuals to perform various tasks and integrate large information from its surrounding environment. The visual field can adapt to various rates of change such as light, time, and spatial contexts in order to correctly visualise an object. However there are limitations to such adaptations in the visual field which impact on an individual's ability to retrieve certain information (Luu & Kalloniatis, 1995) This research report will specifically examine the temporal resolution of the visual system for making tempor...
