Abstract:Turning sensations and eye movement responses during angular accelerations may show adaptation effects of significance to understanding vestibular reactions during certain aircraft maneuvers.
In this study, a direct relationship found between duration of acceleration and (a) decline of response during acceleration, (b) rate of decline of response after acceleration, and (c) magnitude of secondary reaction, is regarded as an indication of a central process which limits a prolonged vestibular primary reaction. The process is manifested by its influence on relatively basic reflex reactions (nystagmus) in the cat, and is more prominently manifested in man by its influence on sensory perception.
