Contents:

Contributors; Part I: Basic Concepts of Stable Vision and Gaze; 1. Afferent and Efferent Contributions to Knowledge of Eye Position; 2. Perceptual Influences of the Extraretinal Signals for Normal Eye Movements and Infantile Nystagmus; 3. Perception with Unstable Fixation; 4. Internal and External Influences on Foveation and Perception in Infantile Nystagmus Syndrome; 5. Perceptual Fading during Voluntary and Involuntary Eye Movements; Part II: New Models and Techniques for Studying Gaze Stability; 6. Alternating Saccades in a Primate Model of Strabismus.

Summary: This volume brings together work from leading researchers in the fields of developmental disorders of binocular vision, strabismus, and both infantile and acquired forms of nystagmus. It contains four sections. The first section, Basic Concepts of Stable Vision and Gaze, deals with psychophysical aspects of infantile forms of nystagmus and the relative contributions of extraocular proprioception and efference (corollary discharge). It also contains an accessible review of current notions of spatial and temporal visual functions and spatial constancy in infantile nystagmus syndrome and latent n.
