The tops of the markers can stick out. Take a picture. Shift your camera about 7. Remember whether you shifted to the right or to the left. If you shift right, the first picture represents what the left eye sees. If you shift left, the first picture represents what your right eye sees. Look at the pictures. These images reflect what your right and left eye register. Human eyes are about 7. Are both pictures identical? In what way do they differ?
The brain uses the different location of objects in the images received by the right and the left eyes to create depth perception. Can you find some rules the brain uses? Which marker do you think shifts most with respect to a distant point or with respect to the last marker—the closer one or the one that is farther away?
In the first picture the three markers are lined up. In the second they are not. Measure how much the second marker is shifted with respect to the last marker. Now measure how much the first marker, which was positioned closer to the camera, is shifted with respect to the last marker. Does shift increase or decrease when objects are placed farther away from the observer? Look at your second picture. Is your second marker shifted to the right or the left with respect to the last marker?
What about the first marker? Is this direction identical to the direction in which you shifted your camera? Can you imagine how the picture would look if you shifted the camera by about 7. You can repeat part of the procedure where you take the pictures but now shift your camera to the other side to find out. Extra : Study other parameters that might influence the shift. Do the markers shift more or less with respect to one another if you as observer position yourself farther away from the set of markers?
What happens if you gaze at a point far in the background? That is, compare the shift with respect to a point in the background. Pictures can help you perform a more detailed analysis. A row of equally spaced trees, light poles or other objects along a straight street can also help you perform a more elaborate investigation.
Extra : Imagine what would happen if our eyes were separated by a longer horizontal distance. Do you think the horizontal shift would be larger or smaller? What do you think would happen if our eyes were shifted vertically instead of horizontally? Take pictures where you position the camera at slightly different locations in space to find out.
Can you find some advantages and disadvantages to having eyes that are separated as they currently are in humans? Extra: Adequate depth perception facilitates tasks such as playing ball, threading a needle and driving. To experience how difficult playing ball and threading a needle are with monocular or one-eyed vision, cover one eye and perform the task. Be careful, though; this is difficult! Likely, the context will help you out Both signs have the dominant hand at the side of the face, similar to holding a phone to your ear.
You can remember the difference between these two signs because TELEPHONE is like the motion of bringing a phone to your ear when you are ready to make a call and CALL moves away from your body, indicating that you are calling someone else.
For TREE only the dominant hand is in this position symbolizing a tree and rests on top of the horizontal non dominant hand with the palm down symbolizing the ground.

By Marta Belsky Wednesday, June 30, This article is by Marta Belsky. Marta is a third generation ASL user. She has been teaching ASL for 30 years and enjoys sharing her native language with new users. He became deaf after having spinal meningitis or what they called "brain fever" when he was two or three years old. Around , the Ohio School for the Deaf was the first school for the deaf to introduce baseball, and Edward Joseph "Dummy" Dundon, who graduated one year before Hoy, became the first deaf professional baseball player and the first deaf person to officiate as umpire in a professional game.
Like "Dummy" Dundon and ANY deaf Major League Baseball player during this time period, Hoy was given the nickname "Dummy" and it was used throughout the rest of his life like a first name. Although it was a thoughtless and insensitive nickname, Hoy preferred to be called Dummy over William, Will, or Bill.
Even at the age of 95, he wrote to The Sporting News saying, "Tell them to call me Dummy again, like they always did. Hoy was smart: he was the valedictorian of his graduating class in During a tryout with a professional pitcher, a scout saw him hitting every pitch, and encouraged him to go to Milwaukee.
Even though he was short and skinny 5'4", pounds , and yes, by the way, deaf, he was later signed to a baseball team in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. When asked if his deafness was a handicap or asset during his baseball career, Hoy said, "On the whole I found it no handicap The yelling of the opposition was useless as far as I was concerned, and they soon found that out.
As to the yelling of my own coaches, it meant nothing to me. Photo of Hoy taken in , the year he started playing in the Major League for the Washington Senators. People might have had doubts about his ability, but in his first Major League year Hoy proved them all wrong. Turns out skinny, short guys can steal a lot of bases: Hoy led the National League with 82 steals his rookie year. Across his career, he became one of the all-time leaders in stolen bases ranked 13th. Twice Hoy led the league in walks, and once in stolen bases and at-bats.
He had a career total 2, hits including 40 home runs in 1, games over 14 years. In one of his most amazing games, he threw out three Indianapolis base-runners at home plate in one game on June 19, He is one of only three baseball players in history that can claim that accomplishment.
In , a historic game was played as Hoy batted against pitcher Luther Haden "Dummy" Taylor, who was also deaf. It uses a one-handed manual alphabet of 33 signs, which make use of the 23 handshapes of USL. In North America, Plains Sign Talk also known as Plains Sign Language is an Indigenous sign language that was once used between Plains Nations to support trade, tell stories, conduct ceremonies, and act as a daily communication language for Deaf people.
It was used between Nations across central Canada, the central and western United States and northern Mexico. Watch the video below to see an example of signing used in First Nations cultures in North America.
