Abstract(in English) Compensatory eye movement for the head translation, so called Linear VOR(LVOR), have been experimentally investigated. Smooth velocity component of LVOR was compared with smooth pursuit eye movement with the same relative target movement. While fixating near target with sinusoidal head translation, LVOR eye velocity decayed rapidly alter the visual target was turned off. But it did not reach to zero after until 45[sec] after dark. The purpose of this study is to investigate why and how long the slow phase eye velocity remains. In smooth pursuit to a sinusoidal target movement, smooth sinusoidal velocity component faded out within 20[sec] after the target was off. This feature is contrasted with LVOR. These results suggest that in smooth pursuit system a procedural memory which memorize continual movements exists, while LVOR is driven by concurrent the otolith signal after dark.
