Assessment of visual field impairment by objective technique.

An objective psychophysical technique for investigating visual fields by averaged scalp potentials evoked by pattern gratings of alternating contrast and by sinusoidally modulated flicerking light is applied to a child with a right homonomous hemianopsia. This technique illustrates a value, in obtaining clinical data on visual fields in situations were subjective perimetry is difficult to administer or where conservating diagnostic methods do not yield evidence of pathology.

Characteristics of saccadic eye movements in attentionally handicapped patients.

Some characteristics of saccadic eye movements were investigated electro-oculographically in hemiplegic attentionally handicapped patients and normal subjects under stationary and moving target situations. The velocity of saccadic eye movements was greater and the duration shorter in hemiplegic than in normal subjects. Greater variability of angular velocity and amplitude functions, and of duration and amplitude functions was found among hemiplegic subjects than among normal. The results were explained, in part, by possible differences in the strength of extra-ocular muscle contraction, variables associated with inhibitory control and learning variables.
