Please note: exam questions are subject to change.

1. Which class of eye movements are used to shift gaze to explore our environment? Saccades Smooth Pursuit Optokinetic Gaze
2. In most instances, when the target speed exceeds ____ per second the pursuit system will no longer be able to keep the eyes on the target and the saccade system will be recruited to reacquire the object of interest. 50 degrees 70 degrees 130 degrees 130 degrees
3. All of the pediatric oculomotor age-effects have been noted in the literature except ___________. Longer Saccade Latency Reduced Smooth Pursuit Gain Increased Optokinetic Asymmetry Decreased Optokinetic Nystagmus
4. Which of the following oculomotor tests are most susceptible to age-effects during clinical evaluation in the pediatric population? Saccades & Optokinetic Saccades & Pursuit Only Saccades Only Pursuit
5. Which of the following oculomotor tests are most susceptible to artifact effects during clinical evaluation in the pediatric population? Saccades & Optokinetic Saccades & Pursuit Only Saccades Only Pursuit
6. Which of the following factors are most likely involved with both significantly different oculomotor values and artifact errors in children? Neuromaturation and attention Attention only Neuromaturation only Tracking problems related to pupil size
