Cognitive Measures and Performance on the Antisaccade Eye Movement Task

Abstract: The antisaccade (AS) task is considered a prominent measure of inhibitory control, but it is still unclear which cognitive processes are used for successful performance of the task. Previous results have provided evidence for the involvement of several processes, including working memory (WM), inhibition and attention. Thus, the aim of this study was to explore, using a range of neuropsychological tests, which cognitive factors predict individual differences in AS performance. To do so, 143 healthy participant… Show more

“…AS task performance is often taken to provide an index of inhibitory control, and therefore its decline with age is assumed to support the hypothesis of a general age-related deterioration in inhibitory function (Hasher & Zacks, 1988). However, while clearly involving inhibitory control, the AS task involves other key aspects of executive function, and AS directional error rate is influenced by multiple factors (Bowling, Hindman & Donnelly, 2012;Lee et al, 2010;Magnusdottir et al, 2019). Our motivation in developing the MDOR task was to target oculomotor inhibitory control more precisely, and in the present study to investigate the effects of normal ageing on MDOR performance.…”

“…Allied to this, there is the well-recognised issue of task contamination. All tasks engage multiple processes, and this is true of the AS task which requires both attentional (Gaspelin & Luck, 2018) and working memory resources (Crawford et al, 2011;Eenshuistra, Ridderinkhof & Van der Molen, 2004), two other key components of executive function (Magnusdottir et al, 2019).…”

“…Since we knew when the red target appeared based on the Unix time as explained above, we extracted the gaze direction data in a time range from t i + 100 to t i + 500 ms for the pro-saccade task and from t i + 125 to t i + 750 ms for the anti-saccade task, where t i was the time when the i th (i = 1, 2,…, 240) red target appeared. We set the time range, assuming that saccadic eye movement would occur in the period by referring to the results of saccade latency in the previous studies (28,29). Subsequently, we drew velocity from the gaze direction data to understand the time when the velocity changed sharply by inspecting the peaks of velocity as visually explained in Figure 4.…”
