Visual Disparity
Have you ever wondered how visual disparity can effect Basketball? I have often wondered about how Visual Disparity can effect Basketball. I am a basketball player and I would like to be able to go to college to play Basketball someday. I still want to learn how to be a better basketball player than I am right now. I believe that learning more about Visual Disparity may help to explain how basketball players can improve their shot. The Word Disparity is a word that is one of the most scientific words. The definition of Disparity is a great difference (Disparity).

Yes, it effects everybody, everybody has kind of a blind spot, and everybody sees things differently (Quin, Ning).
Blind spot is a small portion of blindness in each eye (Albert, Daniel M). The Blind Spot is located to the right centre vision of the left eye (Albert, Daniel M). Visual Disparity effects athletes in many ways. Athletes do better if they are exposed to Visual cues, such as words , pictures or symbols (University of Kent). Subliming visual cues are words, pictures or symbols (University of Kent). Another word that ties into Visual Disparity is depth perception. Depth perception is the ability to determine how far you can throw something (O.D Michel Garin). Based on my past knowledge about Visual Disparity,I believe that Visual Disparity affects athletes and people in many ways. In my Science Fair experiment, I plan to test the hypothesis by shooting a basketball with one eye open and one eye closed to see if it is easier or harder. I predict that the people who are going to shoot with two eyes open, will be easier than one

  • Black Representation Of Basketball By Jeff Greenfield

    1603 Words  | 7 Pages

    Journalist Jeff Greenfield encompasses this sentiment in his 1975 essay “The Black and White Truth about Basketball,” writing that, “‘black’ ball is the basketball of electric self-expression.” “Black ball,” as defined by Greenfield, is not necessarily dependent on the race of the basketball player, though frequently they do align. Rather, this style of basketball is characterized by “speed, mobility, quickness, acceleration” and “feeling the flow of the game…it is an instinctive quality” which makes the sport more personal, tying it to the identity of the players.6 Greenfield argues that, “when you jump in the air, fake a shot, bring the ball back to your body, and throw up a shot, all without coming back down, you have proven your worth in uncontested fashion.” He is recognizing that “black ball” is a game of dazzling skills like dunking and fake-outs, driven by a need to prove oneself as capable and powerful. Therefore these demonstrations of ability became reflections of the players themselves.

In “Immune to Reality”, Daniel Gilbert talks about how the brain processes what it sees, and provides an explanation as to why something happened. He mentions, “the eye and the brain are conspirators, and like most conspiracies, theirs is negotiated behind closed doors, in the back room outside of our awareness” (Gilbert, 142).

    Seeing and looking are two different things. Being able to see is to look at a person or an object and understand the purpose of its being. On the other hand, looking means to gaze at something without thinking or understanding the reason behind it. The short story “Cathedral” by Raymond Carver reveals that sometimes people have the ability to see and yet they cannot see. Those with a visual impairment are able to see and look better than those who do not.

  • Examples Of Inattentional Blindness

    Everybody has probably ever experienced it: you are focusing on one thing and then miss something else completely that is happening at the exact same spot as you were focusing on. The term for this observation is inattentional blindness (IB), which means that you are being blind to something that you are not paying attention to (Mack & Rock, 1998). To study this phenomenon, a person should be given an attention-demanding task and during this task an unexpected stimulus should show up. If this person confirms he or she has not seen the stimulus, IB has occurred (Mack & Rock, 1998). For example, a classic and well-known study about IB showed participants a movie of people playing basketball and asked the participants to count the amount of passes

    Top-down processing is also influenced by our experience and is a faster way of recognizing objects compared to bottom-up processing. Another unique characteristic of facial recognition is that it is processed holistically. This was proven by the fact that when a face is inverted it negatively affects our ability to effectively recognize the face (p.122). For us to be able to recognize a face we must be able to see it in its original and whole pattern, which would be an upright position.
