Accuracy of Discriminating between Similar Drug Names by Nurses: Effect of Finger-pointing on Error Prevention

“…In the present study, we focused on the effect of finger-pointing alone rather than finger-pointing and calling. This was based on the previous findings demonstrating that (a) improved recognition of visual stimuli, including drug names, was shown when participants used finger-pointing alone (Mitobe & Higuchi, 2016;Shinohara et al, 2008) and (b) finger-pointing can play a major role in anchoring people's eyes on a visual stimulus (Neggers & Bekkering, 2000, 2002. The present study featured two hypotheses.…”

“…The effects of finger-pointing can also be explained on the basis of eye movement. The fixation toward the first target was maintained until pointing toward the first target was terminated when participants were instructed to point their finger to two targets consecutively (Carey, 2000;Neggers & Bekkering, 2000, 2002Deconinck, Polanen, Savelsbergh & Bennett, 2011).…”

Inhibition of return in single and dual tasks: Examining saccadic, keypress, and pointing responses

“…During pointing, ocular gaze is apparently tightly anchored to the hand movement target and cannot be deviated from it by flashing new saccade targets during pointing (Neggers & Bekkering, 2000, 2001. Even when the hands change their path in midflight, the moment at which the eyes move to the new pointing target is tightly correlated to real-time correction movements of the moving arm (Neggers & Bekkering, 2002). It is likely that sensorimotor processing for eye and hand movements is shared to some extent and largely governed by what the arms (are planning to) do.…”

“…Furthermore, intermediate layer neurons appear to code the target for a reaching movement in an oculocentric reference frame (Stuphorn et al, 2000). At present, many assume that these neurons play a role in eye-hand coordination rather than directly controlling arm movements (Neggers & Bekkering, 2002;Stup horn et al, 2000;Werner et al, 1997). Interestingly, especially sensitive to IOR, the inhibitory effect does not transfer from the oculomotor to the manual motor system.…”

Badminton Player’s Skills Improvement after Visual Training

“…Optometrist have demonstrated that visual skills like all physical skills can be taught, trained, practiced and perfected [1][2][3][4][5]. We are not talking about having clear vision, vi.…”
