#1
Which of the following is an example of a visual perception skill relevant to safe driving?
Peripheral vision
ExplanationPeripheral vision aids in detecting objects outside the central field of view.
#2
In driving, what does the term 'blind spot' refer to?
An area that cannot be seen in the mirrors
ExplanationBlind spots are areas around the vehicle that are not visible in the mirrors.
#3
Which of the following is NOT a common cause of visual distractions while driving?
Checking side mirrors
ExplanationChecking side mirrors is a necessary part of safe driving and not a distraction.
#4
Which of the following factors can affect a driver's depth perception?
Fatigue
ExplanationFatigue can impair depth perception, affecting the accurate judgment of distances.
#5
What does the 'motion aftereffect' phenomenon refer to in visual perception?
Objects appearing to move in the opposite direction after prolonged exposure to motion
ExplanationProlonged exposure to motion can cause stationary objects to appear to move in the opposite direction.
#6
Which type of vision is crucial for detecting motion and objects while driving?
Peripheral vision
ExplanationPeripheral vision is essential for detecting motion and objects outside the direct line of sight.
#7
What is the term for the ability to perceive the three-dimensional shape of objects?
Depth perception
ExplanationDepth perception allows for perceiving the spatial dimensions of objects.
#8
Which type of visual perception helps drivers anticipate potential hazards?
Peripheral vision
ExplanationPeripheral vision aids in detecting potential hazards outside the central field of view.
#9
Which visual perception skill is essential for accurately judging the speed of oncoming vehicles?
Depth perception
ExplanationDepth perception enables accurate assessment of the relative speed of objects.
#10
What is the term used to describe the ability to judge distances accurately while driving?
Depth perception
ExplanationDepth perception enables accurate judgment of distances between objects.
#11
What does the 'saccade' refer to in visual perception?
A rapid movement of the eyes
ExplanationSaccades are quick, simultaneous movements of both eyes to change the point of fixation.
#12
What is the term for the ability to maintain focus on objects while in motion?
Selective attention
ExplanationSelective attention allows drivers to focus on relevant objects while filtering out distractions.
#13
What is the term for the involuntary eye movement that helps maintain visual perception during motion?
Vestibular ocular reflex
ExplanationThe vestibular ocular reflex stabilizes the eyes during head movements to maintain visual perception.
#14
Which visual cue helps drivers determine the relative distance between objects on the road?
Motion parallax
ExplanationMotion parallax provides information about relative distances based on the speed of objects passing by.
