Successful foveation, or visually focusing on a target, acts as a reward that facilitates saccadic eye movements. This finding suggests sensory feedback from eye movements can be rewarding for the oculomotor system.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Science
  • Oculomotor Research

Background:

  • Movement parameters are influenced by associations with rewards or costs.
  • Rewarded movements are generally facilitated compared to non-rewarded movements.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if successful foveation facilitates saccadic eye movement behavior.
  • To test the hypothesis that foveation acts as an informational reward for the oculomotor system.

Main Methods:

  • Human adults performed saccadic eye movements to peripheral targets.
  • Targets either remained visible post-saccade (allowing foveation) or were extinguished (preventing visual feedback).
  • The probability of successful foveation was manipulated.

Main Results:

  • Saccades to extinguished targets were slower and easier to inhibit than saccades to visible targets.
  • This effect was modulated by the probability of successful foveation.
  • Successful foveation facilitated saccadic behavior.

Conclusions:

  • Successful foveation facilitates behavior, indicating it can act as a reward for the oculomotor system.
  • The expected sensory consequences of saccadic eye movements may serve as a reward.
