MANAGEMENT

Detailed explanation-1: -Smooth pursuit movements are much slower tracking movements of the eyes designed to keep a moving stimulus on the fovea. Such movements are under voluntary control in the sense that the observer can choose whether or not to track a moving stimulus (Figure 20.5).

Detailed explanation-2: -Saccades and smooth pursuit eye movements are two different modes of oculomotor control. Saccades are primarily directed toward stationary targets whereas smooth pursuit is elicited to track moving targets.

Detailed explanation-3: -In the scientific study of vision, smooth pursuit describes a type of eye movement in which the eyes remain fixated on a moving object. It is one of two ways that visual animals can voluntarily shift gaze, the other being saccadic eye movements.

Detailed explanation-4: -Smooth pursuit eye movements are used to track small moving visual objects and depend on an intact fovea. Optokinetic nystagmus is the oculomotor response to large moving visual fields.
