“…No children self-reported side-effects throughout the training program. Given that eye movement deficits are present in children with ADHD [6][7][8], the present study suggested the therapeutic possibility of computerized eye-tracking training to improve saccadic eye movements in children with ADHD.…”

“…For instance, some studies have shown that compared to typically developing children, children with ADHD showed significantly longer saccade latency in an anti-saccade task [6,7]. Similarly, in the pro-saccade task, children with ADHD showed poorer saccade accuracy [6,8]. These results suggest that children with ADHD have difficulty in suppressing unwanted saccades and controlling their eye fixations voluntarily.…”

Computerized Eye-Tracking Training Improves the Saccadic Eye Movements of Children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

Abnormal saccadic eye movements, such as longer anti-saccade latency and lower pro-saccade accuracy, are common in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of computerized eye-tracking training on improving saccadic eye movements in children with ADHD. Eighteen children with ADHD (mean age = 8.8 years, 10 males) were recruited and assigned to either the experimental (n = 9) or control group (n = 9). The experimental group underwent an accumulated 240 min of eye-tracking training within two weeks, whereas the control group engaged in web game playing for the same amount of time. Saccadic performances were assessed using the anti- and pro-saccade tasks before and after training. Compared to the baseline, only the children who underwent the eye-tracking training showed significant improvements in saccade latency and accuracy in the anti- and pro-saccade tasks, respectively. In contrast, the control group exhibited no significant changes. These preliminary findings support the use of eye-tracking training as a safe non-pharmacological intervention for improving the saccadic eye movements of children with ADHD.

“…This also referred as reflexive prosaccade in literature. VGS latency was worse in children with ADHD compared to children without ADHD [29,[31][32][33]. Girls with ADHD had longer VGS latencies as compared with gendermatched control groups, while such a trend was not noted among boys with ADHD [31].…”

There is equivocal evidence on the presence of oculomotor deficits among children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), which can be an additional challenge in this population, especially with reading-related tasks. This study aimed to review the deficits in the oculomotor parameters among children with ADHD compared with age-matched controls. The review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. A search of original research articles on various databases was done using key terms, such as “oculomotor deficit,” “attention deficit hyperactivity disorder,” or related terms. We included case-control studies and excluded studies in which children received medications during the test. Twelve original research studies were considered for this review. Ten studies reported data on various types of saccades, two studies reported data on fixation, and one study reported data on pursuit. Among various oculomotor deficits, the forest-plot analysis of an antisaccade task showed that children with ADHD made more direction errors compared to controls. Although independent studies report that ADHD children have poorer performance compared to control populations during oculomotor tasks, there is a lack of evidence to draw a strong conclusion. Children with ADHD are less precise in performing eye movements and need more time to complete the oculomotor tasks than those without ADHD. The overall results provide minimal evidence regarding the presence of various oculomotor deficits in ADHD.

“…Anti-saccade tasks are also used in psychiatric disorders to assess inhibitory control and explore the potential neurobiological mechanisms of the diseases. Children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) exhibited shorter latency and significantly a higher anti-saccade error rate than the control group, which confirmed that children with ADHD have difficulties on precise oculomotor control and oculomotor response inhibition function ( 31 ). This kind of oculomotor control dysfunction is reflected in patients with internet gaming disorder (IGD) and socially anxious (SA).…”

It has been widely shown that chronic alcohol use leads to cognitive dysfunctions, especially inhibitory control. In an extension of the traditional approach, this research field has benefited from the emergence of innovative measures, among which is an anti-saccade, allowing direct and sensitive measure of the eye movements indexing attention bias to alcohol-related cues and the capability of inhibiting the reflexive saccades to the cues. During the past decade, there are numerous reports showing that drinkers make more unwanted reflexive saccades and longer latency in the anti-saccade task. These increased errors are usually explained by the deficits in inhibitory control. It has been demonstrated that inhibitory control on eye movement may be one of the earliest biomarkers of the onset of alcohol-related cognitive impairments. This review summarizes how an anti-saccade task can be used as a tool to investigate and assess the cognitive dysfunctions and the early detection of relapsing risk of alcohol dependence.
