Abstract
The findings of a neuro-otological evaluation of 100 normal school children and 21 adults are presented. The results show changes in the vestibulo-ocular reflex with age which are of importance in the interpretation of future tests. They also give a fascinating insight into the maturation processes taking place in the growing child.
