Adaptive Changes of opposite Sign in the Oculomotor Systems of the Two Eyes

Abstract: Subjects inspected their feet via base-out prisms for 3 min. Using binocular vision, subsequent reaching without prisms showed significant overestimation of distance. Monocular testing showed a lateral shift in pointing to targets in opposite directions for each eye. This indicates that registered, as opposed to actual, convergence is a factor in near distance perception, and that opposite adaptation occurs within the motor control system for each eye.

“…The term "visual adaptation" is used to designate adaptive change in the eye-head system that has phenomenal consequences for visual perception. The basic nature of such adaptation may be a change in either retinal local sign or registered eye position (e.g., Crawshaw & Craske, 1974;Harris, 1980). Current theory does not permit a test between these two possible accounts of visual change, and the present research is neutral with respect to this problem.…”

“…Hallway walking without sight of the body usually produces more visual than proprioceptive adaptation (e.g., Redding, Clark, & Wallace, 1985;Redding & Wallace, 1976), but stationary viewing of the feet produces exclusively visual adaptation (Craske, 1967;Craske & Crawshaw, 1974. On the other hand, pointing at targets with the hand visible throughout the reaching movement tends to produce more proprioceptive than visual adaptation (e.g., Harris, 1965;Kalil & Freedman, 1966), but pointing with a view of the hand only at the end of the reaching movement tends to produce more visual than proprioceptive adaptation (e. g., Uhlarik & Canon, 1971).…”

“…For example, when a subject is required to walk about hallways wearing prisms (hall exposure), adaptation is more visual than proprioceptive, especially when sight of the body is restricted (e.g., Redding, 1978;Redding & Wallace, 1976), but when a subject views his/her stationary feet (foot exposure), adaptation is entirely visual (Craske, 1967;Craske & Crawshaw, 1974, 1978. On the other hand, if a subject is allowed a continuous view of his/her reaching hand while wearing prisms (concurrent exposure), adaptation tends to be more proprioceptive than visual (e.g., Harris, 1965;Kalil & Freedman, 1966), but when sight of the hand is allowed only at the end of the reaching movement (terminal exposure), adaptation tends to be more visual than proprioceptive (e.g., Uhlarik & Canon, 1971).…”
