Reaction times (RTs) to visual targets during smooth pursuit eye movements were longer than during fixation. As pursuit speed increased, RTs decreased, suggesting a trade-off between pursuit accuracy and reaction time.

Area of Science:

  • Oculomotor control
  • Human visual perception
  • Cognitive neuroscience

Background:

  • Smooth pursuit eye movements are crucial for maintaining clear vision of moving objects.
  • Understanding how visual attention and reaction times are affected during smooth pursuit is important for various applications, including driving and sports.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of smooth pursuit eye movements on simple and choice reaction times to visual targets.
  • To determine the relationship between smooth pursuit velocity, pursuit accuracy, and reaction time.

Main Methods:

  • Participants performed simple and choice reaction time tasks while engaging in smooth pursuit eye movements at different velocities (10-40 degrees/s) or during stationary fixation.
  • Reaction times and pursuit gains (eye velocity/stimulus velocity) were measured.

Main Results:

  • Reaction times were longer during smooth pursuit compared to stationary fixation.
  • Reaction times decreased as smooth pursuit velocity increased from 10 to 40 degrees/s.
  • Pursuit gains decreased with increasing stimulus velocity, indicating reduced accuracy at higher speeds.

Conclusions:

  • There is a trade-off between the accuracy of smooth pursuit eye movements and reaction time to visual targets.
  • Increased smooth pursuit velocity leads to faster reaction times but diminished pursuit accuracy.
