Term
Saccades
Definition
represent the fastest eye movements in humans and primates which allow rapid arefixation of objects. They exist because of the presence of the fovea.
Term
Types of Saccades
Definition
1. Volitional Saccades are elective saccades made as part of a purposeful behavior, such as: 2. Predictive (anticipatory) saccades 3.Remembered target saccades 4.Antisaccades 5. Command saccades 6. Express Saccades
Term
Volitional Saccades
Definition
are elective saccades made as part of a purposeful behavior
Term
Voltuional saccades examples
Definition
predictive (anticipatory) saccades, Remembered target saccades, Anntisaccades, Command Saccades, Express Saccades,
Term
Reflexive Saccades
Definition
are generated to nevel stimuli that occur unexpectedly
Term
Spontaneous Saccades
Definition
occur randomly and unrelated to any behavioral task
Term
Quick Phases
Definition
of Optokinetic Nystagmus and VOR
Term
How is a saccade characterize
Definition
a saccadic response is characterized by the shape of its trajectory to include its: Latency, Amplitude, Peak Velocity, Duration
Term
Average Saccade Latency
Definition
200 msec
Term
Time of Efferent and Afferent Delay for saccade
Definition
50 msec
Term
The higher center processing time including computational delay
Definition
80-100 msec
Term
Latency increases slightly with
Definition
age
Term
Is saccade a sampled data (bang bang) system or continuous? Explain.
Definition
Sampled data system b/c the not matter how long the stimulus was there the latency for that position of the eye is unchanged (200ms) p.44
Term
Position error of less than
Definition
0.5 degrees (later revised to 0.3 degrees) are generally not corrected since they lie within an effective foveal “dead zone” over which small position errors are tolerated
Term
The skewness of a saccade defines
Definition
the asymmetry of the trajectory.
Term
The skewness of a saccade is determined as
Definition
(time to reach peak velocity/ total duration of saccade), for small saccades skewness is ~0.5, for large saccades ~0.2
Term
Skewness increases for
Definition
anti-saccades, saccades made to remembered target, in fatigue or decreased vigilance.
Term
Effects of blinks on saccades:
Definition
1 . Peak velocities are smaller for similar size saccades when the subject blinks during saccades 2. Dynamic overshoots (DO) occur more frequently with blinks
Term
Promptness of a saccade is measured how
Definition
This is the reciprocal of saccadic latency: 1/(Latency)
Term
The variability in saccade initiation time reflects
Definition
the decision-making time plus neurological control processes.
Term
Peak Velocity of Saccade is related to
Definition
its amplitude as determined on the Main Sequence
Term
Main Sequence Relationship
Definition
the relationship quantified between saccades of various amplitudes and their respective peak velocities
Term
The main sequence formula is
Definition
? (peak) = 684(1- e-0.1??)
