Exploring the effects of degraded vision on sensorimotor performance. by William E A Sheppard, Polly Dickerson, Rigmor C Baraas, Mark Mon-Williams, Brendan T Barrett, Richard M Wilkie, Rachel O Coats

“…<h4>Methods</h4>In Experiment 1 we simulated visual deficits in 30 participants using unilateral and bilateral Bangerter filters to explore whether motor performance was affected in water pouring, peg placing, and aiming tasks. Experiment 2 (n = 74) tested the hypothesis that kinematic measures are associated with visuomotor deficits by measuring the impact of small visual sensitivity decrements created by monocular viewing on sensorimotor interactions with targets presented on a planar surface in aiming, tracking and steering tasks.…”
