Abstract

Monocular optokinetic nystagmus (OKN) was studied in 24 human infants aged 3–35 weeks using electro-oculography and moving vertical gratings. At a constant velocity of 25 deg/sec, infants display direction-dependent slow phase asymmetries until approximately 5 months after birth. A comparison was made of the cumulative eye displacement during the slow phases of OKN for nasal and temporal movement. A preliminary report of these findings has appeared previously (Naegele J.R. and Held R., 1980) ARVO Annual Meeting, Orlando, FL.
