Saccade target selection: Do distractors affect saccade accuracy?
A study is reported in which eye movements were recorded when observers attempted to make a saccade to a target in the presence of a nearby and visually identical distractor. It was found that saccade targeting accuracy was completely unaffected by the presence of the distractor, except in the cases where the distractor was on the same axis as that of the saccadic movement. In this condition, s...
متن کاملSaccade target selection in visual search: accuracy improves when more distractors are present.
We report four experiments with search displays of Gabor patches. Our aim was to study the accuracy of gaze control in search tasks. In Experiment 1, a target was presented with a single distractor Gabor of a different spatial frequency on the same axis. Subjects could locate the target with the first saccade if the distractor was more distant, but when the distractor was between the fixation p...
متن کاملFlexible saccade-target selection in Chinese reading.
As Chinese is written without orthographical word boundaries (i.e., spaces), it is unclear whether saccade targets are selected on the basis of characters or words and whether saccades are aimed at the beginning or the centre of words. Here, we report an experiment where 30 Chinese readers read 150 sentences while their eye movements were monitored. They exhibited a strong tendency to fixate at...
متن کاملSaccade Target Selection During Visual Search
Five experiments are reported in which eye movements were recorded while subjects carried out a visual search task. The aim was to investigate whether an accurate initial target directed saccade could be programmed. In experiments 1-2, subjects moved their eyes to targets defined by colour, which were presented with seven non-targets in a circular array. Accurate saccades with short latencies w...
متن کاملSalient Distractors Can Induce Saccade Adaptation
When saccadic eye movements consistently fail to land on their intended target, saccade accuracy is maintained by gradually adapting the movement size of successive saccades. The proposed error signal for saccade adaptation has been based on the distance between where the eye lands and the visual target (retinal error). We studied whether the error signal could alternatively be based on the dis...
