Saccadic latencies of visually-guided saccades of 10 right-handed subjects with right-leading eyes were studied. Stimulation paradigm was spatially bidimentional, and stimuli were shown along horizontal and vertical meridians. Three traditional single step GAP - NO DELAY - OVERLAP temporal paradigms were used. In the first experiment, each paradigm was applied separately (simple visual space). In the second experiment, all the three paradigms were varied pseudo-random order and equiprobably, which complicated the time parameters of visual stimulation (complicated visual space). Asymmetry of visually-guided saccades along the vertical and horizontal meridians was revealed. The character of this asymmetry varied between subjects. MANOVA showed that the factor of visual space complicity (simple or complicated visual space) affected the latent period of saccades to a greater extent than the factor of stimulus lateralization (stimulus presentation in the left/right or upper/lower visual hemifields).
