The authors have been using the measurement of individuals' eye movement to investigate how visual information is received. It has already been corroborated that visual perception plays an important role in determining people's behavior. The measurements of eye movement also reveal how people ready themselves for certain actions. “Microslip” is a term from ecological psychology refersing to exploratory behavior that is thought to precede some new behavior in the future. By finding the microslip, it should be possible to show how people prepare themselves to do what they intead to do next. Given this premise, the present study was conducted to observe the microslips of child patients during cleaning of the mouth. The findings are reported in this paper.
