Antisaccades and Its Experimental Paradigm, Mechanisms and Influence Factors

Abstract

Abstract:

Antisaccades task is the main method to study the endogenous saccades. In 1978, Hallett used the antisaccades task in his study for the first time. This task needs the subjects to inhibit the saccade towards the peripheral target, and direct their gaze in the opposite direction. The antisaccades task provides an efficient method for the study of behavioral control and attention. Evidence suggests that prosaccades and antisaccades can be programmed in parallel and competition, and fronto-parietal subcortical network involved in the antisaccades performance. Antisaccades can be influenced by many factors, such as, gap effect, working memory, cognitive aging, eccentricity effect, ect.

Key words: antisaccades, prosaccades, endogenous saccades, working memory, gap effect.

摘要：

反向眼跳任务是研究内源性眼跳的主要方法。1978年，Hallett在研究中首次使用了反向眼跳的实验任务。实验中要求被试抑制对外围目标的注视，并注视它的相反位置。反向眼跳任务是研究行为控制以及注意功能的有效范式。目前认为反向眼跳任务中的朝向眼跳和反向眼跳计划是同时加工并相互竞争的，并且反向眼跳的产生与额顶叶皮层下组织有关。反向眼跳会受到多种因素的影响，例如，空白效应、工作记忆、认知老化、目标离心率等。

关键词: 反向眼跳, 朝向眼跳, 内源性眼跳, 工作记忆, 空白效应。
