The coordination of eye and head movements during early infancy: a selective review

Behav Brain Res. 1983 Oct;10(1):125-32. doi: 10.1016/0166-4328(83)90158-4.

Abstract

A review of work dealing with the human infant's ability to use coordinated eye and head movements is presented. Primary emphasis is given to performance under two conditions: (1) the shifting of fixation to a visual stimulus in the periphery; and (2) the use of eye movements to maintain fixation by compensating for the effects of externally imposed head movements.
