Nominated by | TachyonJack (talk) on 2009-06-04 15:43 (UTC) |
Scope | Nominated as the most valued image on Commons within the scope: visual perception in reading, foveal vision |
Used in | en:Eye movement in language reading, en:Reading (process), fr:Mouvements oculaires lors de la lecture |
Reason |
This diagram illustrates why your eyes must move rapidly during reading - since you can only read a word or two at each eye stop. The upper line allows a reader try it out for him/herself, and the lower line is a good representation of the loss of acuity over distance. I came across this image about a month ago, and upon seeing that there is such a thing as valued images, I remembered this picture. I cannot think of another image I have encountered on Wikipedia that contributes as much to its article as this one does to eye movement in language reading. -- TachyonJack (talk) |
