The non-visual impact of eye orientation on eye-hand coordination

Abstract

When a peripheral visual stimulus is briefly presented in an empty surround, and an observer is required, after a delay of a few seconds, to point toward the remembered location of that target, the responses are strongly influenced by eye orientation at the time of pointing. Remembered locations, as indicated in total darkness, are typically more precise (more reproducible across trials) when the subject's eyes are aimed toward the target before pointing, than when initial fixation (straight ahead) is maintained during pointing. Furthermore, when the eyes are aimed toward the target, the indicated directions are usually biased toward less eccentric locations than those indicated with eyes aimed straight ahead. These differences in scatter and in bias arise regardless of whether the eye movement toward target location, which precedes pointing, is made while the target is visible or occurs thereafter in total darkness, thus demonstrating that non-visual stimuli associated with eye orientation affect the spatial memory used by the skeletal muscle system.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
