Saccadic eye movements refer to rapid, jerky movements of the eyes as they quickly move from one target to another. There are several synonyms for this phenomenon, including ballistic eye movements, jumping eye movements, and reflexive eye movements. Other terms that may also be used to describe saccadic eye movements include rapid eye movements (REM), scan paths, and visual fixations. While these terms may differ slightly in meaning or emphasis, they all refer to the same fundamental aspect of eye movement, which involves the fast and precise tracking of visual stimuli in the environment. Understanding the various synonyms for saccadic eye movements can help researchers and clinicians better communicate about this important topic.
