Antisaccades require the top-down process of decoupling a stimulus and a response and executing a saccade mirror-symmetrical to a target. Notably, research has yet to characterize the endpoint properties of antisaccades. Experiment One had participants antisaccade in two trial blocks that contained the same number of target eccentricities but differed in respect to their magnitudes. Experiment Two manipulated the frequency that individual target eccentricities were presented within a block of trials. Notably, Experiments One and Two were designed to determine whether the top-down control of antisaccades renders the processing of target features via a strategy of perceptual averaging. Results showed …
