[Saccade latency and pattern of saccade response in the experimental scheme "double step"]

To investigate the decision-making process at the saccade programming we used modification of the "double step" experimental scheme, in which two short stimuli are presented successively in the opposite semifields (puls overshoot--scheme). The dependence of saccades to visual stimuli number, responses pattern (two saccades, or a single saccade to the second stimulus) and the value of saccade latency from the first stimulus duration (150 or 50 ms), the spatial stimuli arrangement and the individual characteristics of the subjects was shown. The findings suggest the relationship of attention and decision making processes at saccade programming and indicate to the possible influence of prognostic processes on the saccadic response "pattern" at the expectation period in the experimental "double step" scheme.
