(competition) Visual acuity is the sharpness of vision. Static visual acuity is best when the object is in the center of the retina and there are high levels of light. Dynamic visual acuity involves the ability to discriminate moving objects. Depth perception can also involve static (still) or dynamic (moving) conditions. The field of vision is the area that can be seen without moving the eyes. Peripheral vision is the area outside the field in the lateral (side-to-side) and vertical (up and down) directions. Figure-ground perception is the ability to distinguish an object from the background. It is aided by familiarity with the objects and/or environment. Kinesthetic: kinesthetic is the ability to sense the position of your body and limbs in space.
