Two-handed performance of a rhythmical fitts task by individuals and dyads.
TL;DR: The authors suggest that the observed chronometric and kinematic patterns emerge from an interplay between simple harmonic motion and the stabilizing influence of the informational flow generated by the closing of the gap between the pointer and the target interval.
Fitts' law is not continuous in reciprocal aiming
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Fitts' law is discontinuous in reciprocal aiming owing to a transition in operative motor control mechanisms with increasing task difficulty.
How Can Ten Fingers Shape a Pot? Evidence for Equivalent Function in Culturally Distinct Motor Skills
TL;DR: A cultural influence on the operational aspects of the potters’ motor skill is revealed and the culturally-specific motor traditions of the French and Indian potters gave rise to an equivalent outcome, that is shape uniformity for the simple model form studied.
Chapter 12 Predictive Visual Information Sources for the Regulation of Action with Special Emphasis on Catching and Hitting
TL;DR: This chapter investigates several available visual information sources and evaluates the experimental evidence available for the use of these information sources in the regulation of behavior, with special emphasis on catching and hitting.
Does practicing a wide range of joint angle configurations lead to higher flexibility in a manual obstacle-avoidance target-pointing task?
