Movement Control

Eye Movement Control

It is well-known that eye movements are central to visual perception [1]. Visual acuity decreases dramatically in the periphery of vision, and precise eye movements to specific locations are vital to foveate objects of interest and identify them with high accuracy [1–4]. Given the importance of eye movements for visual perception, there has been a surge of interest in the topic, with numerous s...

Control of ocular movement.

The ocular-motor system is organized to concentrate the images received by the eye upon the fovea, the most sensitive area of the retina. The acquisition and maintenance of object images upon the fovea, together with their stabilization during head movements, constitute the basic roles of human eye movement. These movements are simply motor outputs in response to sensory (primarily visual) inpu...

Movement and Control

Since the earliest days of generative grammar, control has been distinguished from raising: the latter the product of movement operations, the former the result of construal processes relating a PRO to an antecedent. This article argues that obligatory control structures are also formed by movement. Minimalism makes this approach viable by removing D-Structure as a grammatical level. Implementi...

On Reducing Control to Movement

Hornstein (1999, 2001) proposes a particular version of the movement theory of control (MTC) in which movement is driven by the need of a DP to “receive” a θ-feature from the predicate it merges with. I argue here against the use of θ-features in syntax on various grounds, the most important of which is that, being fundamentally semantic in nature, they belong properly to the bare output condit...
