Eye Movements and Visual Information Processing.

Abstract

Completed studies showed that: 1) saccade-like stimulus transients (abrupt onsets or off-sets) do not aid visual search; 2) anticipatory smooth eye movements depend in a lawful way on the stimuli in prior trials; 3) smooth pursuit eye movements are determined by two, independent processes; 4) reading efficiency is not limited by the pattern of eye movements, but rather by the ability to recognize words quickly; 5) subjects can maintain the line of sight on one of two, superimposed, full-field, patterns of randomly positioned dots -- one pattern moving and the other stationary.
