Fitts’ Law in early postural adjustments [PDF]

open access: yesNeuroscience, 2013
We tested a hypothesis that the classical relation between movement time and index of difficulty (ID) in quick pointing action (Fitts' Law) reflects processes at the level of motor planning. Healthy subjects stood on a force platform and performed quick and accurate hand movements into targets of different size located at two distances.

Hammering Does Not Fit Fitts' Law [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2017
While movement is essential to human wellbeing, we are still unable to reproduce the deftness and robustness of human movement in automatons or completely restore function to individuals with many types of motor impairment. To better understand how the human nervous system plans and controls movements, neuromechanists employ simple tasks such as upper ...

Towards an analysis of academic weblogs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
This paper analyses both the communicative purposes and formal linguistic features of academic weblogs. An initial analysis of 496 weblogs in use within tertiary level institutions was reduced to an in-depth analysis of 39 academic weblogs (a corpus of ...

Designing an Accessible Website for Older Adults with Consideration of Visual Perception [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
The number and proportion of older adults in the world are rapidly growing every year and the need for Internet use among this age group is also increasing. Older people might face two major types of problems: one, Lack of knowledge in using the internet,

Perceived Difficulty in a Fitts Task [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
This study provided a detailed investigation of perceived difficulty (PD) in a Fitts task. The Fitts task has been used to study Fitts\u27s law, which shows that movement time (MT) is related to the information constraints of the movement (Fitts\u27s ...

Using Fitts' Law to Detect Intentional Misrepresentation [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Motor Behavior, 2015
In paralympic classification, tests of impaired coordination (e.g., reciprocal tapping tasks) are effort dependent and therefore susceptible to intentional misrepresentation of abilities (IM)-deliberate exaggeration of impairment severity. The authors investigated whether reciprocal tapping tasks performed submaximally could be differentiated from ...

Design and Development of a Mobile-based Caretaking System for the Elderly People in Thailand: A Design Thinking Approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
As the ageing population has become a global phenomenon in the past few decades, it has brought several issues to many countries (e.g., aged care). Thailand has one of the highest ageing populations in the region, which has challenged society to find a ...

Fitts’ Law is modulated by movement history [PDF]

open access: yesPsychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2017
Fitts' Law is one of the most robust and well-studied principles in psychology. It holds that movement time (MT) for target-directed aiming movements increases as a function of target distance and decreases as a function of target width. The purpose of this study was to determine whether Fitts' Law is affected not only by the demands of the target on ...

Schrodinger Wave Equation for Simple Harmonic Oscillator [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
In physics, harmonic motion is among the most representative types of motion. A simple harmonic oscillator is often the source of any vibration with a restoring force proportional to Hooke’s law.

Examining the equivalence between imagery and execution - Do imagined and executed movements code relative environmental features? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Imagined actions engage some of the same neural substrates and related sensorimotor codes as executed actions. The equivalency between imagined and executed actions has been frequently demonstrated by the mental and physical chronometry of movements ...
