Professor John Findlay has made an outstanding contribution to the field of eye movement research at both a National and International level [...]
Three experiments examined the influence of complex distractors on the Remote Distractor Effect (RDE), a robust finding of an increase is saccade latencies when two, rather than one possible targets are presented simultaneously (Walker, Deubel, Schne...
The origin of binocular coordination of saccades (central, peripheral) and the role of learning remain controversial (Hering vs. Helmholtz). We will present evidence for learning: in young children (5 years) horizontal saccades are poorly yoked, coor...
We investigated exogenous and endogenous orienting of visual attention to the spatial location of an auditory cue. In Experiment 1, significantly faster saccades were observed to visual targets appearing ipsilateral, compared to contralateral, to the...
In this paper I present a brief review of some recent studies my colleagues and I have carried out to investigate binocular coordination during reading. These studies demonstrate that the eyes are often not perfectly aligned during reading, with fixa...
In the present paper, I review evidence for the universality of the global effect, i.e. the general tendency to move the eyes towards the centre of gravity of the peripheral configuration, and show that the effect is strongly constrained by the retin...
It has long been known that the path (trajectory) taken by the eye to land on a target is rarely straight (Yarbus, 1967). Furthermore, the magnitude and direction of this natural tendency for curvature can be modulated by the presence of a competing...
