Hi, Dave, and welcome to the forum.
Yeah... you go where you look.
There's a flip side to target fixation... if you lift your vision, you gain confidence and things seem to slow down.
For beginners this is about doing the dreaded turn-from-a-stop. Newbies tend to look right in front of the bike and tense up. Experienced riders look up at the corner exit, where they want to wind up.
It's a critically important skill in track riding.
Somewhat related: If you need to avoid a moving object like a vehicle that's pulling out in front of you, focus on where it's just been, not on the vehicle itself. By the time you get there the vehicle won't be.
