Abstract

IN experiments that used a pencil and graph paper targets, we have been able to demonstrate what we believe to be the intermittency of visual feedback control in a simple motor task. The intermittency hypothesis was first advanced by Craik1. It was developed by E. R. F. W. Grossman and P. J. Goodeve in their theoretical analysis of movement control (unpublished), showing that an intermittent servo mechanism could produce results obtained by Fitts and others that related the speed of movement to the terminal accuracy.
