D
Central (foveal) vision
Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand the different types of vision involved in visual processing: night vision, color vision, peripheral vision, and central (foveal) vision.
Recognize that central (foveal) vision refers to the part of vision that is focused on the center of the visual field, where visual acuity is highest due to the dense concentration of cone cells in the fovea of the retina.
Consider how driving requires detailed and focused visual information, such as reading road signs, recognizing traffic signals, and detecting hazards directly ahead, which relies heavily on central (foveal) vision.
Contrast this with peripheral vision, which detects motion and provides awareness of the surroundings but is less detailed, and night vision, which is more about low-light conditions but not the majority of visual input during typical driving.
Conclude that the majority of visual information while driving comes from central (foveal) vision because it provides the detailed and focused input necessary for safe driving.
