ATTENTION AND INTEREST

an observer gazes at an object, closes his eyes, and then turns his head sideways, the eyes lag somewhat behind the head rotation, and in fact may not turn at all. This is shown by measuring the head rotation in degrees and the correspondent eye rotation, also in degrees. The subject opens his eyes as soon as he has finished turning his head, and the rotation of the eyes is immediately measured. The following diagram shows a phase of the relative positions of head and eyes:

Fig. XVIII. O, object. E, eyes. H, head

Even though the head has turned from O to Hj ^ the eyes still tend to fixate O which was looked at before the turning of the head began. The following tables show the difference between the head and the eye rotations, such differences being conditioned by the nature of the stimulating object:^
