Saccadic Eye Movements in Elderly Depressed Patients With Suicidal Behaviors: An Exploratory Eye-Tracking Study

Suicidal behaviors (SBs) are often associated with impaired performance on neuropsychological executive functioning (EF) measures that encourage the development of more specific and reliable tools. Recent evidence could suggest that saccadic movement using eye tracking can provide reliable informati...

Recent evidence could suggest that saccadic movement using eye tracking can provide reliable information on EF in depressive elderly. The aim of this study was to describe oculomotor performances in elderly depressed patients with SB. To achieve this aim, we compared saccadic eye movement (SEM) performances in elderly depressed patients (N = 24) with SB and with no SB in prosaccade (PS) and antisaccade (AS) tasks under the gap, step, and overlap conditions. All participants also underwent a complete neuropsychological battery. Performances were impaired in patients with SB who exhibited less corrected AS errors and longer time to correct them than patients with no SB. Moreover, both groups had a similar performance for PS latencies and correct AS. These preliminary results suggested higher cognitive inflexibility in suicidal patients compared to non-suicidal. This inflexibility may explain the difficulty of the depressed elderly in generating solutions to the resurgence of suicidal ideation (SI) to respond adequately to stressful environments. The assessment of eye movement parameters in depressed elderly patients may be a first step in identifying high-risk patients for suicide.Yoan BarsznicaYoan BarsznicaYoan BarsznicaYoan BarsznicaNicolas NoiretBérénice LambertJulie MonninJulie MonninJulie MonninClaire De PinhoJulia HickelCaroline MasseCaroline MasseStephane Richard-DevantoyCynthia MorgnyDjamila BennabiDjamila BennabiEmmanuel HaffenEmmanuel HaffenEric LaurentPierre VandelPierre VandelPierre VandelPierre VandelGilles ChopardGilles ChopardGilles ChopardGilles ChopardFrontiers Media S.A.articledepressionelderly suicideexecutive functioneye movement analysiseye trackingPsychologyBF1-990ENFrontiers in Psychology, Vol 12 (2021)
