Abstract
In a visuo-motor pointing task, the accuracy of response was measured in situations which differ in the visual information available and the speed of execution of movement. Results confirm the role of visual cues received from self-produced movement in the control of the trajectory of a limb. Furthermore, it can be shown that a structured visual background is important in the treatment of sensory data concerned with the movement and in target localization. This effect is absent in rapidly executed pointing responses.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
