Eye--hand coordination in rhythmical pointing.(Report)
Jul 01, 2009; ... ABSTRACT. The authors investigated the relation between hand kinematics and eye movements in 2 variants of a rhythmical Fitts's task in which eye movements were necessary or not necessary. P. M. Fitts's (1954) law held in both conditions with similar slope and marginal differences in ...
Interrupted object-based updating of reach program leads to a negative compatibility effect.(Report)
Jul 01, 2009; ... ABSTRACT. The author investigated how the motor program elicited by an object's orientation is updated by object-based information while a participant reaches for the object. Participants selected the hand of response according to the thickness of the graspable object and then reached ...
Influence of augmented feedback on coordination strategies.(Report)
Jul 01, 2009; ... ABSTRACT. The authors examined the influence of knowledge of results (KR) and concurrent feedback (ConFB) on coordination strategies in learning a 2-finger discrete force-production task. In Experiment 1, 4 groups learned the task under the following feedback regimes: ConFB, ConFB with ...
Motor learning and chunking in dyslexia.(Clinical report)
Jul 01, 2009; ... ABSTRACT. The authors investigated whether participants with dyslexia had problems with executing discrete keying sequences and with switching between chunks in those sequences. Participants with dyslexia and participants in the control group executed 2 6-key sequences each, with 1 ...
Target-directed movements at a comfortable pace: movement duration and Fitts's law.(Report)
Jul 01, 2009; ... ABSTRACT. Although many studies have supported P. M. Fitts's (1954) law as a description of the speed-accuracy trade-off for speeded movements, there has been a lack of research regarding movement duration for target-directed movements made at any other pace. In the present study, the ...
