Abstract

Optokinetic nystagmus is often thought of as a "primitive" oculomotor response, while smooth pursuit is thought of as a "higher" one. We have used conditions that are usually thought of as eliciting optokinetic responses; i.e., large-field stimuli confined to the retinal periphery, and instructions to subjects to respond passively. In spite of this, the responses showed predictive behavior similar to that described for smooth pursuit.
