Relationship between perceptual stability, and sighting dominance.
A study was made of perceptual stability (in binocular, right and left monocular vision) and sighting dominance. 47 female psychology students served as subjects. The intention was to verify: (1) the hypothesis of asymmetry between the two eyes in the duration of the retinal image, which is indicative of sensory dominance; (2) the existence of a relationship between the two forms of dominance. The results seem to confirm the first hypothesis. Other relationships between sighting dominance and stability of image emerged. There was a positive correlation between sighting dominance and perceptual stability in binocular vision. There appear to be significant differences in perceptual stability depending on whether subjects show right, left, or no dominance.
