D) both A and B

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research studies using stabilized retinal images have shown that edges must move on the retina to be detected. Meanwhile, studies conducted on patients with scotomas (areas of visual field loss) have shown that we rely on context to fill in missing visual information. Therefore, both A and B are correct. As for microsaccades, research has shown that they are not entirely random and contribute to our ability to see fine details.
