Eye-tracking, also called ophthalmology, is the process of measuring the point of fixation or the motion of an eye with respect to the head, which is obtained by means of an eye tracker (Eye-tracker). With the Eye-tracking technique it is possible to understand where the gaze stops and which are the elements that most attract the attention of the subject. Individuals with neurodevelopmental issues may have difficulty maintaining central fixation and inhibiting the shift of attention to distractions. In our research we investigated visuospatial attention and inhibitory control in subjects with infantile cerebral palsy through the application of the experimental paradigm of Posner and recording responses by ophthalmology. From this study it emerged that subjects with infantile cerebral palsy have times of reactions similar to healthy controls but greater difficulty in inhibiting the displacement of exogenous attention towards the distraction and to inhibit the displacement of endogenous attention.
