Movement provides the only means we have to interact with both the world and other
people. Such interactions can be hard-wired or learned through experience with the …

The schema theory for discrete motor skill learning (Schmidt, 1975), originally published in
1975, has generated considerable interest and received strong challenges over its lifetime …

According to Fitts' law, human movement can be modeled by analogy to the transmission of
information. Fitts' popular model has been widely adopted in numerous research areas …

A stochastic optimized-submovement model is proposed for Fitts' law, the classic logarithmic
trade-off between the duration and spatial precision of rapid aimed movements. According to …

This article presents a tentative theoretical framework for the study of asymmetry in the
context of human bimanual action. It is emphasized that in man most skilled manual …

Motor Control is a complex process that involves the brain, muscles, limbs, and often
external objects. It underlies motion, balance, stability, coordination, and our interaction with …

In four studies we show that participants' regulatory focus influences speed/accuracy
decisions in different tasks. According to regulatory focus theory (Higgins, 1997), promotion …

The performance of subjects walking blindly to previously inspected visual targets (located
at 5, 10 or 15 m from the subjects) was studied in 2 experiments. In Expt. 1, subjects selected …

This book deals with a problem central to the relations of brain and behaviour: the
organization of goal-directed movements. The importance of movement, not only as a probe …

The motor cortical substrate associated with reaching was studied as monkeys moved their
hands from a central position to one of eight targets spaced around a circle. Single-cell …
