Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The underlying processes in movement organisation and control were studied by varying the conditions under which arm movements were made. The 3 dimensonal movement trajectories were contrasted in grasping, throwing and fitting tasks. It apeared that when task demands required greater precision, the main deceleration phase of the trajectory was increased in duration. Results support a view of movement production as relatively specific to the past experience of the performer and the constraints of the task. (Abstract amended)
