Originally published in 1983, this volume represents the edited
proceedings of the first conference organized by the European Group
for Eye Movement Research with the theme "Eye Movements: Current
Research and Methodology". The conference was held at the
Department of Psychology, University of Bern, Switzerland in 1981.
The book is divided into four parts covering: Methods; Central and
Peripheral Processing; Picture Viewing and Visual Tracking; and
Cognitive Processes and Reading. Each part is introduced by one of
the session chairpersons of the conference.

In the 10 years prior to publication the quantity of research on
eye movements as they pertain to psychological processes had been
increasing at a rapid rate. Originally published in 1976, the
editors' purpose was to bring together investigators representing
different theoretical positions and methodological approaches to
present their recent findings, to debate the theoretical points of
view, and to identify and discuss the major research problems on
eye movements at the time. An attempt was made to invite
participants ranging all the way from promising graduate students
through the established authorities in the field. The result was an
intensive three-day session with meetings from early morning until
late into the evening with much opportunity for formal and informal
group discussion. The edited papers and transcripts of the
discussions are the contents of this book.
Originally published in 1978, this volume reflects the proceedings
of a conference held in February 1977 in California and is a
natural successor to the earlier volume Eye Movements and
Psychological Processes (Monty & Senders, 1976). The second
conference was aimed at providing a greater opportunity for
discussing the "higher mental processes" touched on in the first
volume. Part 1 is devoted to an intensive review of the underlying
processes and psychological functions of eye movements. It includes
discussions of the relationships of cortical and subcortical visual
areas to eye movements and visual processing associated with them;
information about the position of the eye in the head and the
perception of visual space; saccades and visual functioning; and
masking. In further parts it goes on to look at: methodology and
models; cognitive processes; reading processes; looking at static
and dynamic display; and finally chapters on problems and
applications.
Originally published in 1981, this volume represents the edited
proceedings of the third symposium on eye movements and behaviour
sponsored by the US Army Human Engineering Laboratory. The
conference, titled "The Last Whole Earth Eye Movement Conference"
was held in Florida in February 1980. As the conference approached,
seizure of the American hostages by the Iranian militants, the
Russian invasion of Afghanistan, and the uncertain economic outlook
around the world made it appear as though the title was a
self-fulfilling prophecy. But the meeting proved highly successful
and people throughout the world seemed to be adapting to the
stresses of international tension, making the possibility of
subsequent meetings more likely. The present volume is intended to
serve as a complementary text to the earlier texts Eye Movements
and Psychological Processes (Monty & Senders, 1976) and Eye
Movements and the Higher Psychological Functions (Senders, Fisher
& Monty, 1978), rather than a revision and update of them.
