Popis: BACKGROUND: The relationship between gaze behavior and postural stability under distinct cognitive loads is still unclear in children. AIM: This study focuses on eye movements' effect on the children's postural stability by varying the visual tasks' attentional/cognitive demands. METHOD: Twenty young adults (23.4 years-old, ± 2.1) and sixteen children (10.3 years-old, ± 0.4) stand in semi- tandem position on a force plate, wearing a head-mounted eye-tracking while performing three 40 second-trials in the following order: stationary gaze task; free-viewing task; and visual searching task. RESULTS: Children showed a higher number of fixations during the stationary gaze task (p
