Best Math Tutors in Carlsbad, CA

Just say you’re in the car, driving to a party. You haven’t been to the host’s house before. As you drive down through town, you have to keep track of traffic, pedestrians, and the other normal driving hazards—while at the same time continually scanning the street names and house numbers. To do that while staying safe, your eyes have to move around very quickly. These quick eye movements are called “saccades.” And with each saccade, you have to collect information in mere milliseconds—the name of the street, where the curb juts out if the skateboarder is turning or continuing straight. Unfortunately, the speed and accuracy of saccades decrease with age and with certain cognitive conditions. In addition, the ability to quickly and reliably extract information on each eye fixation reduces substantially. As a result, you might miss the street where you were supposed to turn or find yourself driving a little less safe than usual as you focus too much visual attention on house numbers and not enough on driving conditions. The result: less confidence when going to new places. Our programs are designed to exercise your ability to make saccades quickly and to notice subtle details with each one.
