Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pursuit eye movements are the smooth eye movements that allow the eyes to closely follow a moving object. Saccades, in contrast, are rapid, jerky movements used to abruptly change the point of fixation from one object to another. The term "object tracking movements" is not specifically used in ophthalmology or neurology to describe a type of eye movement, making "pursuit eye movements" the correct answer.
