Three subjects practiced fast, accurate 36 ~
elbow flexion movements to a 2.5 ~ target for 14 sessions
of 100 trials (total, 1400 trials). Subjects then returned for
a 15th experimental session in which they were asked to
perform 15 movements under identical conditions to the
practice condition. They were then tested under three ex-
perimental conditions without visual feedback: (1) iden-
tical to the practice conditions, (2) with small shifts in
starting position (+ 3 ~ of the practiced starting position),
that were insufficient for subjective discrimination and,
therefore, subjects were instructed to repeat the practiced
movements; and (3) with a large shift in starting position
(range, 15 ~ of the practiced starting position), under
the instruction to move to the same target. Experimental
conditions 2 and 3 demonstrated that shifts in starting
position were partially correlated with shifts in final posi-
tion. These results are interpreted from the point of view
of the equilibrium-point hypothesis of motor control.
3 Ss trained elbow flexion movements for 1400 trials to the same target.
Three tests were performed:
1.) Same as training
2.) undetectable elbow displacement before movement
3.) detectable elbow displacement before movement.
Goal: decide between movement to endpoint or movement over a distance
programming.
Endpoint: no influence of displacement on endpoint -> high correlation
between displacement and movement distance
Distance: no influence of displacement on movement distance-> high
correlation between displacement and end point.
Mixed result, however: correlation with distance seems higher than
correlation with endpoint -> rather endpoint control.
