Group; mean ± SD Patient subgroup; mean ± SD


Characteristic Controls, n = 29 Schizophrenia, n = 38 Antipsychoticfree, n = 13 Clozapine, n = 10 Haloperidol, n = 15
Peak velocity, º/s 634.0 ± 82.5 602.1 ± 114.1 615.3 ± 93.2 643.8 ± 86.9 562.0 ± 137.7
Duration, ms 88.2 ± 17.3 91.3 ± 18.0 91.9 ± 14.2 83.9 ± 7.0 96.1 ± 24.3
Pregain 0.93 ± 0.04 0.91 ± 0.05 0.93 ± 0.06 0.91 ± 0.04 0.89 ± 0.05
Postgain 0.75 ± 0.05 0.73 ± 0.06 0.73 ± 0.06 0.76 ± 0.05 0.71 ± 0.06

SD = standard deviation.

*

No differences in basic saccade characteristics (peak velocity, duration, gains) were found among any of the groups. Saccade gains (defined as saccade amplitude/target amplitude) were calculated at baseline (pregain) and after saccade adaptation (postgain) and did not differ significantly between controls and patients with schizophrenia (Student t tests) or among patient subgroups (univariate analyses of variance).

Not significant.
