Mountain bikers utilize the ambient visual system to detect changes in the trail and perceive riders ahead. This system, part of the peripheral vision, focuses on movement and depth perception. The document highlights the importance of the ambient pathway in motion processing.

1. The visual system that a mountain biker would use to identify changes in the trail or to perceive
a rider in front of him or her is the: fovea. parallel processing system. ambient system. focal
system.
Solution
The two types of pathways in visual systems are focal and ambient.
The mountain biker uses ambient system to identify changes in the trial or to perceive a rider in
front of him/her.
The peripheral vision also referred as ambient pathway is concerned with movement and depth
perception and is generally considered to be crucially involved in motion processing.
