Gaze behavior of healthy young individuals navigating in a community environment

ConclusionResults suggest that looming pedestrians, while present for shorter duration, impose a greater risk of collision. Results further suggest a possible lateralization of attention and maintenance of personal space during collision avoidance. Collectively, present findings will help better understand how visual information is used for obstacle negotiation in a community environment and will serve as a basis for comparison to understand community walking challenges experienced by older adults and individuals with a physical disability.
