“…In contrast to recent findings conducted in sparse small-scale environments (Bloomberg et al, 1991;Blouin et al, 1995;Chance, 2000;Israël et al, 1997;Klatzky et al, 1998), our results suggest that the effect of inertial information on the acquisition of environmental layout is quite small. We suggest two possible reasons for this small effect.…”

“…Recent research on the navigation of room-sized spaces has shown that body-based vestibular, somatosensory, and somatogravity (Mittelstaedt & Mittelstaedt, 1996) cues that provide information about linear and angular acceleration (i.e., inertial cues) play an important role in maintaining orientation with respect to known locations and directions (Bloomberg, Melvill Jones, & Segal, 1991;Blouin et al, 1995;Chance, 2000;Israël, Grasso, Georges-François, Tsuzuku, & Berthoz, 1997;Klatzky, Loomis, Beall, Chance, & Golledge, 1998). For example, Klatzky et al examined performance in a task that required people to keep track of a location as they moved away from it along two path segments connected by one turn.…”

“…Our finding of saccade-VOR co-operation should be compared with the recent results of Segal & Katsarkas (1988) and Bloomberg, Melvill Jones & Segal, (1991 a, b). These authors showed that under head-free conditions, using an earth-fixed target, gaze is stabilized by the VOR followed by a catch-up compensatory saccade in the same direction as the VOR.…”

SUMMARY1. Eye-head co-ordination in the horizontal plane was studied in four human subjects using two successive flashes in the same direction, either increasing in eccentricity (IE), or decreasing in eccentricity (DE).2. Results showed that for both conditions, head movements preceded eye movements and were typically longer or followed by a slow gaze movement. This slow movement was due to a vestibulo-ocular reflex gain of less than one. Gaze accuracy was achieved by small head movement adjustments.3. Gaze movement to an IE stimulus had a staircase pattern, and to a DE stimulus, a pulse-step pattern or one gaze saccade to the final flash eccentricity.4. In some cases, however, in response to a DE stimulus, the eye and head movements were directed to different displacements (dissociation); i.e. the head movement started towards the first flash eccentricity with a concomitant eye saccade to the second flash eccentricity. When this occurred, gaze movement did not resemble a pulse-step pattern.5. It is suggested that non-visually orienting gaze is driven mainly by head movement. Eye and head movements can be either tightly coupled or dissociated, depending on the stimulus pattern.

“…Jürgens and Mergner (1989) suggested that the fast phases of vestibular nystagmus are modulated by highlevel centers that process sensory information. It has also been shown that the VOR is under the control of cortical representations of the vestibularly perceived self-rotation and target spatial localization (Berthoz 1989;Bloomberg et al 1991;Collewijn 1989).…”
