1921 F. Tilney & H. A. Riley Form & Functions Central Nerv. Syst. xxx. 532 Vestibulo-ocular associated reflex. This reflex is elicited by electrical, thermal and mechanical stimulation of the receptors in the vestibule of the internal ear.
1963 Jrnl. Theoret. Biol. 4 215 The simplest description of this vestibulo-ocular reflex is to say that, if the head is rotated in one direction, the eyes tend to rotate, with respect to the head, in the opposite direction, and then come back to their undeviated position.
1979 Sci. Amer. Jan. 88/1 The two other major types of eye movements—the vestibulo-ocular movements, which maintain visual stability during head movements, and the smooth-pursuit eye movements, which follow a moving object such as a flying bird—do not appear..since neither of these types of movements is elicited by target jumps.
