摘要

Purpose

Smooth Pursuit and Groffman Visual Tracing (GVT) tests are tracking tests used to evaluate oculomotor processes. This study aims to investigate the relationship between GVT and the Smooth Pursuit test, which assesses various aspects of oculomotor function.

Methods

The study was conducted with 41 participants aged between 18–30 years with normal hearing thresholds. The Smooth Pursuit test and the two-card GVT test were administered to participants.

Results

A statistically significant moderate correlation (r = 0.497; p = 0.001) was observed between the horizontal and vertical Smooth Pursuit test asymmetry of the individuals participating in the study and the mean execution time of the GVT test card A and the left horizontal (LH), and a statistically significant moderate correlation (r = 0.443; p = 0.004) was observed between the mean execution time of the card B and the LH.

Conclusion

The study suggests that the GVT is not a substitute for the Smooth Pursuit test in healthy adults; however, correlation may not have been obtained for the right eye due to limited sample size. Future research is recommended to examine the relationship between these two tests in a large sample size.
