Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Ophthalmology

Background:

  • Saccadic eye movements are crucial for visual processing.
  • The developmental trajectory of horizontal saccades in children is not fully understood.
  • Existing research lacks comprehensive studies on voluntary and reflexive saccades using diverse paradigms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the development of horizontal saccades in children aged 6-15 years.
  • To analyze the impact of age on reflexive and voluntary saccade characteristics.
  • To establish normative data for saccadic development in childhood.

Main Methods:

  • Binocular eye movements were recorded using infrared video-oculography (mobileEBT®, e(ye)BRAIN).
  • Seventy-two children aged 6-15 years participated in the study.
  • Multiple paradigms (gap, step, overlap) were employed to elicit horizontal saccades, including anti-saccades.

Main Results:

  • Saccade latency decreased with age across all paradigms.
  • The error rate in anti-saccade tasks diminished with increasing age.
  • Saccade gain improved with age, while peak velocity remained stable.
  • Saccadic performance showed significant age-related improvements.

Conclusions:

  • Saccadic performance in children is significantly influenced by age.
  • Cortical circuits for saccade preparation mature by approximately 12 years of age.
  • The findings provide reference values for developmental studies and clinical assessments.
