Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

PPR (parafoveal preview benefit) occurs when the observer holds a target location in mind and is able to preview and process upcoming visual information before making an eye movement. It is not limited to a specific type of eye movement and can occur during both saccades and smooth pursuit movements. Damage to the temporal lobe is not necessary for PPR to occur.
