Ahh, stop.
Wait a moment.
I wasn't talking about being spacy. Or about being lost in one's minds and shutting off vision. Unfocussed eyes just mean vision is blurred and not sharp - not 'gone' because one is mentally preoccupied.
I asked for those who do not focus their eyes in order to be able to better look at something. Or use peripheral vision for the same purpose;
watching something, but not having to do so with their full vision.
*I* think you did a GOOD job of earlier anticipating the incorrect response.
(seriously)
Well, when I am deep in thought....
Seriously though, I DO sometimes try to study things in my peripheral view because they may otherwise believe I notice them, anticipate, etc... On reading, etc... I have been HANDICAPED, like most, in usually using my fovea.
When I scan, my subconcious DOES seem to work outside that limitation(With scanning, my subconcious seems to process a LOT, a see far less, and remember still less.), and I am TRYING to improve my reading beyond it.
Can YOU read with your peripheral vision?
