Generalization of prism adaptation.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2006
Prism exposure produces 2 kinds of adaptive response. Recalibration is ordinary strategic remapping of spatially coded movement commands to rapidly reduce performance error. Realignment is the extraordinary process of transforming spatial maps to bring the origins of coordinate systems into correspondence.

Predictors of prism response during prism adaptation. Prism Adaptation Study Research Group.

Journal of pediatric ophthalmology and strabismus, 1991
Results of the Prism Adaptation Study (PAS) indicate that prism adaptation improves the success rate of strabismus surgery for patients with acquired esotropia. Patients who show a fusion response to the prisms benefit most from this preoperative treatment. This study analyzes the characteristics of those patients who were and were not prism responders

Is Prism Adaptation “for” Growth?

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 2007
The assumption that prism adaptation mechanisms evolved for developmental plasticity was questioned by analyzing natural transformations (magnification, rotation, displacement) of the arm and shoulder. Accommodating ordinary movement was found to be a closer match to prisms than transformations caused by growth.

An Investigation of Prism Adaptation Latency

Optometry and Vision Science, 1994
The latency of adaptation of the human vergence system to a change in convergence or divergence forced upon it by a prism was investigated in this pilot study.Adaptation was stimulated by a 5-s period of binocular vision through a prism of 0 delta, -8 delta, or 8 delta.

Preoperative Prism Adaptation in Acquired Esotropia

Ophthalmologica, 1984
41 patients with acquired esotropia who did not have preoperative prism adaptation were compared to 50 patients who were prism-adapted prior to surgery. Surgical success was evaluated at a postoperative period of 6 months. 82% of the patients who responded to prism adaptation had a successful surgical result as compared to only 51% of the patients who ...

First-Trial Adaptation to Prism Exposure

Journal of Motor Behavior, 2003
Terminal target-pointing error on the 1st trial of exposure to optical displacement is usually less than that expected from the optical displacement magnitude. Such 1st trial adaptation was confirmed in 2 experiments (N = 48 students in each) comparing pointing toward optically displaced targets and toward equivalent physically displaced targets (no ...

Dual Prism Adaptation: Calibration or Alignment?

Journal of Motor Behavior, 2003
Dual adaptation to different amounts or directions of prismatic displacement, or both, can be acquired and maintained with little mutual interference. Associative recalibration of the regional task- or workspace, contingent on differentiation of distinguishing sensory information, can explain such adaptation.

Phoria Adaptation to Prisms

Archives of Neurology, 1983
Horizontal prism placement in normal subjects results in an apparent change in phoria by an amount equal in power and opposite in direction to the prisms used. However, the measured phoria gradually returns toward the value preceding the placement of prisms. This is termed phoria adaptation.

Prism Adaptation in Strabismus

Seminars in Ophthalmology, 1997
Prisms have both diagnostic and therapeutic uses in strabismus. Many clinicians have popularized the use of prisms preoperatively to determine the target angle for surgery in esotropic patients. A review of the literature shows that preoperative prism adaptation, and the prism adaptation test is effective in predicting postoperative sensory and motor ...
