Because there is much more visual information available in our environment than we can ever be able to process at once, it is important for people to selectively acquire information from specific portions of the visual field. The proposed research examines how this selection is accomplished by taking an evolutionary approach; how people selectively acquire and process visual information is influenced by what types of visual information was relevant to the survival of our distant ancestors (e.g., avoiding predators, finding prey).

因为在我们的环境中有更多的视觉信息，比我们能够一次处理的要多得多，所以人们有选择地从视野的特定部分获取信息是很重要的。 拟议的研究探讨了这种选择是如何通过进化的方法来完成的;人们如何选择性地获取和处理视觉信息，这取决于哪些类型的视觉信息与我们的远祖的生存有关（例如，躲避捕食者，寻找猎物）。
