(e.g., Deubel & Schneider, 1996; Hoffman & Subramaniam, 1995). For example, Deubel and Schneider (1996) showed that spatial attention is shifted to the saccadic destination before the saccade onset.onset of the saccade. In their study, participants[DrL1]  were asked to make a saccade to a cued location and to discriminate a target letter, which was briefly presented at one of three possible locations before the onset of the eye movement. Discrimination performance wasthe best when the letter was presented at the location of the saccadic target.

In this study, weOur study examined age-related difference in attention shift occurred before saccade. The effect may be affected by age-related change of saccade and attention shift. First, it has been reported that aging affects ondifferences in the attention shift before the saccade, looking at both age-related changes in the saccade and in the attentional shift. [DrL2] Aging affects several aspects of saccadic eye movements (e.g., Abel, Troost & Dell’Osso, 1983; Carter, Obler, Woodward & Albert, 1983; Sharpe & Zackon, 1987; Spooner, Sakala & Baloh, 1980; Warabi, Kase & Kato, 1984). Saccadic latency increases in older adults. Abel et al. (1983) reported that saccadic latencies were 45 ms longer for older adults than for younger adults.

Comments


 Since your study is about aging, I would recommend stating how old their participants were, i.e. young adult or whatever.


 Although I have edited this sentence, I recommend deleting this sentence – wait until after you have presented more information in the literature review before introducing your study. This paragraph will be much stronger if it starts with the next sentence, ” Aging…
