| Annotation | Voluntary saccadic (quick, abrupt) eye movements executed to a visual target are often influenced by a proximal non-target. In this study, younger and older adults were asked to saccade to an orientation-defined target that was presented alone, with a more central distractor, or with a more peripheral distractor. Both age groups exhibited saccadic averaging that was more pronounced in the central distractor condition, and older adults had the larger effect. These results are relevant to questions of oculomotor control and also have implications for the study of age differences in other visually guided behaviours. (AKM). |
