THE OCULOMOTORIC PATTERN OF CIRCULAR EYE MOVEMENTS DURING INCREASING SPEED OF ROTATION

摘要

The basic pattern of guided circular eye movements was recorded and analyzed with regard to form and speed.nThe results suggest that the changes in speed of rotation are associated with changes in the frequency of saccadic eye movements. In¬creasing speed results in fewer movements per revolution of the target and in more move¬ments per second of time. Furthermore, a higher number of eye movements occurred during counterclockwise rotation than during clockwise pursuit. The interaction between speed and direction of rotation for the number of move¬ments was analyzed statistically.
