Vision and Motor Control by Luc Proteau and Digby Elliott (Eds.)

By Luc Proteau and Digby Elliott (Eds.)

Because the vintage reports of Woodworth (1899), the function of imaginative and prescient within the regulate of flow has been an enormous learn subject in experimental psychology. whereas many early experiences have been keen on the relative significance of imaginative and prescient and kinesthesis and/or the time it takes to take advantage of visible details, fresh theoretical and technical advancements have influenced scientists to invite questions about how assorted resources of visible info give a contribution to motor keep an eye on in numerous contexts.

In this quantity, articles are offered that offer a huge insurance of the present examine and idea on imaginative and prescient and human motor studying and keep an eye on. the various participants are colleagues that experience met through the years on the conferences and meetings fascinated by human stream. They signify quite a lot of association and historical past together with kinesiology, actual schooling, neurophysiology, cognitive psychology and neuropsychology. hence the subject of imaginative and prescient and motor keep watch over is addressed from a couple of various views. typically, each one writer units an empirical and theoretical framework for his or her subject, after which discusses present paintings from their very own laboratory, and the way it suits into the bigger context. A synthesis bankruptcy on the finish of the amount identifies commonalities within the paintings and indicates instructions for destiny experimentation.

Sample text

The assumption that kinematic changes near the target reduced error and were based on visual feedback was important, and there was good reason to believe that it was correct. Feedback control models of aimed movements (Crossman & Goodeve, 1963/1983; Keele, 1968) postulated multiple submovements identifiable by discrete kinematic changes based on feedback information. Carlton (1979) had previously demonstrated that aimed hand movements under moderate index of difficulty conditions (see Fitts, 1954, for a discussion of index of difficulty) were characterized by discrete kinematic changes when the hand was near the target.

Changing Spatial Movement Goals One strategy for examining the control of aimed responses, and the role that visual information about the position of the target plays in these movements, is to eliminate or move the target prior to, at, or some time after movement initiation. The first situation, changing the goal of the movement before movement initiation, is usually done in experiments studying the psychological refractory period. The psychological refractory period represents an increase in the length of time taken to respond to the second of two stimuli presented closely in time (Telford, 1931).
