Oculomotor Development and Adaptation
Project looking at the development of the eye movement system and the relationship between adaptation and development within this system for children aged 3 through 15.  The following questions are asked:  Do environmental adaptations permanently affect the development of eye movements?  What effect does the developmental stage have on a person's ability to alter their eye movement patterns?  In this particular experiment, we are looking at the development of a type of eye movement called a saccade; the rapid eye movement which we use when looking from one object to another.  We are studying the effect of age on the speed at which this type of eye movement can be made.  We are also interested in the effects of age on the relationship between saccades, other types of eye movements, and head movements.
