title: [Evaluation of spatial discrimination performances of newborn infants with the visual pursuit of structured stimuli].
abstract: Pursuit eye movements have been recorded with the photo-oculographic technique from newborn infants during the presentation of stimulations specific for spatial discrimination functions. 72.5 per cent of 51 subjects whose eye movements have been recorded have successfully followed stimuli of spatial frequency up to 0.4 cycles per degree. Estimations of grating visual acuity are similar to those provided by the preferential looking technique.
