Attending to a misoriented word causes the eyeball to rotate in the head. Abstract Text:

Harold Pashler,V S Ramachandran,Mark W Becker,

Torsional eye movements are triggered by head tilt and a rotating visual field. We examined whether attention to a misoriented form could also induce torsion. Thirty-six observers viewed an adapting field containing a bright vertical line, and then they viewed a display that was composed of two misoriented words (one rotated clockwise, the other counterclockwise, by 15 degrees, 30 degrees, or 45 degrees). The subjects were instructed to attend to one of the words. The subjects' adjustments of a reference line to match the tilt of the afterimage showed that attention to a misoriented word produces torsional eye movement (verified with direct measurements on 4 additional subjects). This eye movement reduces the retinal misorientation of the word by about 1 degrees. The results of this study reinforce the linkage between selective attention and eye movements and may provide a useful tool for dissecting different forms of "mental rotation" and other adjustments in internal reference frames. Apparent-motion displays confirming that the eye rotated in the head may be downloaded from www.psychonomic.org/archive.
