The Impact of Monocular and Binocular Vision on Shooting Behavior

This investigation seeks to elucidate the influence of monocular and binocular vision on shooting behaviors, with an emphasis on evaluating shooting precision, the rapidity of aiming responses, and two ocular metrics: the ratio of saccade duration and the mean peak saccade velocity. Findings reveal that monocular aiming surpasses binocular aiming in terms of shooting accuracy, as monocular aiming enhances the shooter's focus on target details. Binocular aiming has a shorter aiming response time in rapid response shooting at multiple targets. The proportion of saccade duration and the average of peak saccade velocities during monocular aiming are higher than those during binocular aiming, implying that monocular aiming might increase visual load and lead to visual fatigue more quickly. This research provides new insights into the cognitive load and visual fatigue during shooting under different visual conditions, offering significant guidance for shooting training and practical applications.
