a

Patients had significantly lower accuracy in prosaccades for overlap fixations than controls (t33=2.64, p=.013).

b

Patients had significantly lower accuracy in antisaccades than controls (t33=3.79, p=.001) and relatives (t32=3.45, p=.001), regardless of fixation condition.

c

Relatives had significantly higher antisaccade accuracy for overlap fixations compared to step fixations (t18=2.56, p=.020).

d

All groups had significantly longer saccade latency for overlap fixations compared to step fixations, regardless of saccade tasks. There was no significant group difference in saccade latency.

Note. Pro = prosaccade, Anti = antisaccade, Step = step fixation condition, Overlap = overlap fixation conditions.
