Observations upon the role of the peripheral retina in the execution of eye movements.

A variety of experimental situations are described concerning optokinetic nystagmus and tracking movements of the eyes, which have shown that in certain circumstances the peripheral retina can exert a powerful influence upon the resultant response. The teleological significance of the findings is discussed in the context of the mechanisms subserving ocular-following movements.

The significance of optic fixation in tests of vestibular function.

Claims are often made that the electronystagmographic recording of induced nystagmic responses either with eye closure or in darkness enhances the sensitivity of the test. While this may be true of certain parameters it is not true of all and may in fact lead to a reduction in the diagnostic information obtainable with optic fixation upon a target.
