Executive deficits detected in mild Alzheimer's disease using the
antisaccade task.
Effects of anxiety on task switching: Evidence from the mixed
antisaccade task.
Munoz & Stefan Everling, Look Away: The
AntiSaccade Task and the Voluntary Control of Eye Movement, 5 NATURE REV.
After the 10-minute period, participants' brainpower was rated using eye-tracking equipment that measured reaction times to an eye movement task (the
antisaccade task: completion of a nonstandard task).
Comparing the activation in a stop signal, Go/NoGo, and
antisaccade paradigm, pre-SMA and different regions of IFC are activated, but still they are related to an activation of rIFG [2].
In addition to this, PD may impair response inhibition, an integral element of impulsivity, with PD patients performing worse on a range of measures of inhibition, including the Stop-Signal Task [4, 5], Go/No-Go [6], and
antisaccade [7].
For example, SEM abnormalities have been encountered in Multiple System Atrophy, such as slower prosaccade and increased
antisaccade errors [57].
Attention orienting and inhibitory control across the different mood states in bipolar disorder: an emotional
antisaccade task.
Antisaccade performance is impaired in medically and psychiatrically healthy biological relatives of schizophrenia patients.
Compensatory effects on the functional level of the SC mediated by the substantia nigra pars reticulata have been reported [59] yielding improved saccade initiation and inhibitory control but did not significantly prevent prosaccades during
antisaccade condition [60].
It was found that proactive interference affected low-span participants more than high-span (Kane & Engle, 2000), high-span participants were less vulnerable than low-span to salient distractors in a dichotic listening task (Conway, Cowan, & Bunting, 2001), high-span identified
antisaccade targets faster than low-span in a
antisaccade task (Kane, Bleckley, Conway, & Engle, 2001) and high-span were faster or less error prone than low-span in a Stroop task (Kane & Engle, 2003; Long & Prat, 2002).
An appropriate distractor is the
antisaccade task [Hallet 1978].
