25 minutes of arc is equivalent to ______ rods

micronystagmus movements
37
True or false: because of Panum's fusional area the horopter is not a surface but a solid
True
38
it occurs when an object is located in front or behind the region of single binocular vision.
Physiological diplopia
39
According to Lotze and other researchers, the limits of binocular vision must be considered _______
gradient
40
non corresponding points on the retinas of the two eyes, creates
retinal disparity
41
A large amount of retinal disparity results
Diplopia
42
Small amount of retinal disparity results
stereopsis
43
Ogle characterized streopsis as being _____, whereas monocular clues to the perception of depth are empirical clues that must be _______
innate; learned
44
predominant clue for the binocular perception of distance
Retinal Disparity
45
Monocular clues for the perception of distance:
:Size, overlay, geometrical perspective, aerial perspective, light and shadow
46
large objects are interpreted as being closer than small objects
Size
47
an object that blocks another object is interpreted as being the closer of the two
Overlay
48
this is typified by a road or railroad tracks converging towards the horizon
Geometrical Perspective
49
objects high above the horizon are interpreted as being closer than objects near the horizon
Aerial Perspective
50
monocular clues are sometimes referred to as empirical clues, and also known as _______, because they are used by artists to convey the illusion of distance.
the picture painting clues
51
Binocular clues for the perception of distance

conjugate movement or version movements
53
the eyes move towards each other or away from the other
disjunctive or Vergence movements
54
eyes moves toward one another
convergence
55

According to Burde (1975), saccadic movements are thought to be mediated by the eye fields in the ______ and can occur with a speed as high as ______ degrees per second
frontal lobe (area 8); 400
60
Saccadic movements can occur as:

63
which disjunctive (vergence) movement is more highly developed?

64
when the eyes are fixated on a distant object, the total amount of divergent that can be stimulated (by means of base in prism) is no more than about _____ degrees or ____ prism diapers
6; 9.5
65
when converging towards the nose, in the push up test for convergence, the eyes may converge as much as
60 degrees (95 prism diopters)
66
the stimuli for vergence movements include the following:
1. Changes in accommodation (accommodative convergence) 2. Retinal Disparity (disparity convergence or fusional convergence) 3. Awareness of nearness of an object (Proximal convergence)
67
he described convergence movement as involving a gradual increase in the activity of the medial rectus muscles reaching a maximum and gradually declining, with the lateral rectus muscle showing reciprocity throughout the movement
Burde
68
Burde described _____ movement as involving a gradual _______ in the activity of the ______ rectus muscles reaching a maximum and gradually declining, with the lateral rectus muscle showing reciprocity throughout the movement
convergence; increase; medial
69
Burde described two types of electromyographic activity for divergence, the first one:
involves as a saccadic burst of firing and both the lateral and medial rectus muscles followed by reciprocal excitation and inhibition of agonist and antagonist
70
Burde described two types of electromyographic activity for divergence, the second one:
involves an immediate saccadic burst of activity to the lateral rectus muscles with a concomitant inhibition of the medial rectus muscles and followed by irregular activity of both muscles
71
refers to the vergence movements made by the eyes in response to retinal disparity and having the result of obtaining or maintaining images on corresponding retinal points so that sensory fusion may take place
Motor Fusion
72
Ogle described motor fusion in terms of what he called the ___&&&
Fusion Compulsion
73
if a prism, base-out, is suddenly placed in front of one eye while a distant object is fixated, two objects are seen momentarily , but (if not too far apart) they suddenly move toward one another and as if attracted to one another by a magnet like force
The Fusion Compulsion
74
the process by means of which the optical system of the eye varies its focal length and response to visual stimuli
Accommodation
75
the process of accommodation is mediated by the _____ , and involves an increase in the vergence of light brought about by the _____
cilliary muscle; crystalline lens
76
True or False: Accommodation may be specified either in terms of the ACCOMMODATIVE STIMULI or the ACCOMMODATIVE RESPONSE. In clinical work you must deal with the stimulus to the to accommodation because we have no method of knowing at any given moment the accommodative response
True
77
accommodation may be stimulated in either of two ways:
1. near objects 2. by the use of minus lens
78
