The rerationships between the cahracteristic behaviors in walking through a maze with way-finding and the two visual field, central and peripheral

Abstract

There are relationships between characteristic behaviors observing while walking through a maze with way finding and the two visual fields, the central visual field and peripheral visual field. In this study, the relationships was tried to clarify by the way-finding experiment using the mask developed for restricting arbitrary area of visual field. The following results were obtained: 1) By using the central visual field, we can walk through a maze without walking into inside of a dead end, and we can notice an entrance of a byway. 2) By using the peripheral visual field, we can reach the destination without walking backward long distance. 3) By using both of the two visual field, we can walk through a maze without stopping walking and touching walls.
