In the interest of promoting interaction among the laboratories of the world which have directed attention to the visually guided behavior of frogs and toads, a Workshop was held at the State University of New York, Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn from August 22 to 24, 1972. The gathering was sponsored by the Graduate Program in Biological Psychology at Downstate and supported by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. The program was constituted of a series of in-depth discussions on visually guided behavior, visuomotor pathways, visuomotor physiology and the develop-ment of Visual connections. The objective was to focus on visually guided behavior in relation to its mechanisms.
