The Movement Speed-Accuracy Relationship in Space-Time

  • Chapter
Motor Behavior

Abstract

In this chapter we synthesize extant descriptions of the movement speed-accuracy relationship and develop, from these orientations, a space-time approach to movement accuracy. This new space-time perspective provides a cohesive account of spatial and temporal movement error functions in the face of changing kinematics. The space-time function is posited as a statistical manifestation of the organismic, environmental, and task constraints inherent to the given action.
