Abstract:Failure of adaptation of nystagmic eye movements to occur under certain conditions of stimulation by angular acceleration has been ascribed to a failure to allow the eye-movement response to run its course. In this study, 3 groups of subjects were tested under conditions of repeated angular accelerations in which Group A received unidirectional stimulation, Group B received bidirectional stimulation with both responses allowed to run their course, and Group C received bidirectional stimulation but the response in one direction was interrupted. Adaptation occurred for all groups in spite of the different test procedures. Other implications of the results are discussed.
