Cognitive correlates of anti-saccade task performance.
The anti-saccade task (AST) is widely used in experimental, clinical, and neuroscience research as a pronounced test of executive functions. AST research includes to some extent also the investigation into its cognitive correlates. In the present study, we have examined cognitive correlates of the AST in the short-term/working memory, executive functions, and intelligence domains in healthy adults. We have obtained the following results. In line with previous research, the global percentage of direction errors PDE comprised of two only negligibly correlated components, direction errors with express or regular latencies. Substantial correlations with the other cognitive measures were obtained only for regular direction errors and, less so, for the global PDE. Results add to the evidence that distinguishes express and regular direction errors and underline that the complex requirements of the AST are reflected in a comparatively rich set of non-redundant parameters.
