Deep dives
Experts use peripheral vision more
Research shows that experts rely on peripheral vision more than novices. For example, experienced drivers tend to look further ahead of the car, utilizing their wider peripheral vision. This allows them to gather information about their surroundings and make quicker decisions. Additionally, experts in fields such as chess and radiology have been found to have parallel processing of visual stimuli, where they can process multiple pieces of information simultaneously and automatically. This enhanced peripheral vision and parallel processing contribute to the expert's ability to anticipate events and make informed decisions.
