Impact of task-specific training on saccadic eye movement performance.

Prosaccades are saccadic eye movements made reflexively in response to the sudden appearance of visual stimuli, whereas antisaccades are saccades that are directed to a location opposite a stimulus. Bibi and Edelman (Bibi R, Edelman JA. 102: 3101-3110, 2009) demonstrated that decreases in reaction time resulting from training prosaccades along one spatial axis (horizontal or vertical) could transfer to prosaccades made along the other axis.
