O. Gambini et al., SMOOTH-PURSUIT AND SACCADIC EYE-MOVEMENTS AND WISCONSIN CARD SORTING TEST-PERFORMANCE IN OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE DISORDER, Psychiatry research, 48(3), 1993, pp. 191-200
Smooth pursuit eye movements (SPEMs), voluntary saccadic eye movements
(VSEMs), and neuropsychological test (Touluse-Pieron Test and Wiscons
in Card Sorting Test) performance were studied in 23 patients with obs
essive-compulsive disorder and 27 age-matched normal control subjects.
The patients performed more poorly than the control subjects on the S
PEM and, to a lesser degree, VSEM measures. They also showed impairmen
t on some aspects of the neuropsychological tests. No relationship was
found between eye movement performance and neuropsychological impairm
ent.
