Oculomotor (proprioceptive) cues Your brain interprets motion of muscle movement as depth
convergence and vergence Feel the muscles move! Brain detects inwards strain as ____________?
object is closer!!

Why does it happen?
Speed of Processing Theory: the interference occurs because words are read faster than colors are named or items are counted.
Selective Attention Theory: the interference occurs because naming colors or counting items requires more attention than reading words.

25. Vestibular and kinesthesis demo
Nystagmus demo with 1 volunteer and a roving pair of eyes
All:
Stand on 1 foot for 30 seconds. How well can you maintain balance?
Stand on 1 foot for 30 seconds with eyes closed. How well can you maintain balance? What is helping your body maintain balance?
Spin until I tell you to stop. Close your eyes and balance on one foot. Why can’t you?
ALL:
Stand on right foot with left foot tucked behind right leg.
Close your left eye and direct your fovea at something with your right eye.
Gently apply pressure inwardly on your right eyelid so that you are forcing your eyeball towards your nose while maintaining focus on the object

26. Are you field dependent or field independent?
Field dependent people rely on visual cues to create sense of balance
Field independent people rely on gravity/vestibular cues to find sense of balance
So what?
Field dependent people tend to be more extroverted, emotionally open and good at reading social cues
Field independent people tend to be more introverted, cerebral, and science/math oriented
