Take a baby doll with you and demonstrate it. I guaranted they'll remember that, as opposed to a lengthy explanation which does nothing to help visualize the reflex.
What was my old school chant..."3-6-8 Doll's eyes are great" ?
I like the idea of the doll props too... helps 'em remember ya wanna see those eyes moving around in the head....and it's a BAD thing for the patient when they don't.

Can anybody give me any pointers on explaining "doll's eye" reflex to a group of nursing students?
Thanks for your help!:kiss
