“…(To argue that compensatory eye movements imply expectations of stimulus changes is to beg the question.) Comparable findings have been reported by McLaughlin, Kelly, Anderson, and Wenz (1968) and Pola (1976), using McLaughlin's (1967 technique for conditioning parametric adjustments of saccadic eye movements. McLaughlin (1967) found it possible to condition a reduction in the size of saccades used to shift fixation from target A to target B by extinguishing B during each saccade and replacing it with a surrogate target B' situated closer to A.…”

McLaughlin (1967) found it possible to condition a reduction in the size of saccades used to shift fixation from target A to target B by extinguishing B during each saccade and replacing it with a surrogate target B' situated closer to A. McLaughlin et al (1968) found that, with targets B and B' situated 10 and 5 deg from A, respectively, initial saccadic amplitude diminished from a mean value of 9.43 to 5.80 deg after only 11 conditioning trials.…”

“…They referred to a study of parametric adjustments of eye movements (McLaughlin, Kelly, Anderson, & Wenz, 1968) and stated that "the independent variable in this experiment was what Festinger would call 'efferent readiness,' and it turned out to have no effect whatever on perception." This strong conclusion, however, is not justified on the basis of the data.…”

“…This pertains to the perception of visual targets flashed before an adapted saccade (Awater et al 2005;Bruno and Morrone 2007;Collins et al 2007;Georg and Lappe 2009;Schnier et al 2010), the pointing to a flashed target with the hand (Bruno and Morrone 2007;Cotti et al 2007Cotti et al , 2009Hernandez et al 2008; but see Freedman 2008, 2009;Kroller et al 1996;McLaughlin et al 1968), and even the apparent position of the saccade target itself (Bahcall and Kowler 1999). The strength of mislocalization depends on the saccade type, but also on the properties of the target.…”

Schnier F, Lappe M. Mislocalization of stationary and flashed bars after saccadic inward and outward adaptation of reactive saccades. J Neurophysiol 107: 3062-3070, 2012. First published March 21, 2012 doi:10.1152/jn.00877.2011.-Recent studies have shown that saccadic inward adaptation (i.e., the shortening of saccade amplitude) and saccadic outward adaptation (i.e., the lengthening of saccade amplitude) rely on partially different neuronal mechanisms. There is increasing evidence that these differences are based on differences at the target registration or planning stages since outward but not inward adaptation transfers to hand-pointing and perceptual localization of flashed targets. Furthermore, the transfer of reactive saccade adaptation to long-duration overlap and scanning saccades is stronger after saccadic outward adaptation than that after saccadic inward adaptation, suggesting that modulated target registration stages during outward adaptation are increasingly used in the execution of saccades when the saccade target is visually available for a longer time. The difference in target presentation duration between reactive and scanning saccades is also linked to a difference in perceptual localization of different targets. Flashed targets are mislocalized after inward adaptation of reactive and scanning saccades but targets that are presented for a longer time (stationary targets) are mislocalized stronger after scanning than after reactive saccades. This link between perceptual localization and adaptation specificity suggests that mislocalization of stationary bars should be higher after outward than that after inward adaptation of reactive saccades. In the present study we test this prediction. We show that the relative amount of mislocalization of stationary versus flashed bars is higher after outward than that after inward adaptation of reactive saccades. Furthermore, during fixation stationary and flashed bars were mislocalized after outward but not after inward adaptation. Thus, our results give further evidence for different adaptation mechanisms between inward and outward adaptation and harmonize some recent research.
