The psychophysical measurement of visual function
Thomas T. Norton, David A. Corliss, James E. Bailey
Résumé
The gap between basic science and its practical applications in a clinical setting is familiar to anyone charged with teaching students whose primary concern will be making the right clinical decisions. The Psychophysical Measurement of Visual Function addresses this dilemma by focusing on what the basic sciences and their clinical application have in common: the concept of measurement.
Learn the fundamentals of how vision and visual function are measured. With this easy to follow book, the reader will develop an understanding of how vision is measured and the neural basis of vision, where it is known or can be deduced.
Inside you will find:- Chapters featuring an overview summarizing the chapter, declarative headings throughout for instant review, and study guide questions
- Explanation of neural mechanisms underlying visual function
- Details on the scientific basis of how visual function is measured and, where applicable, how laboratory measurements extend to clinical procedures
Contents
- Principles of psychophysical measurement
- Absolute threshold of vision
- Intensity discrimination
- Adaptation to light and dark
- Spatial vision
- Temporal factors in vision
- Color vision
- Postnatal human vision development
- The aging visual system
