Abstract
Theoretical accounts of the speed–accuracy trade-off in rapid movement have usually focused on within-movement error detection and correction and have consistently ignored the possibility that motor-output variability might be predictably related to movement amplitude and movement time. The present author proposes a theory of motor-output variability that accounts for the relationship among the movement amplitude, movement time, the mass to be moved, and the resulting movement error. Predictions are derived from physical principles; empirical evidence supporting the principles is presented for 3 movement paradigms––single-aiming responses, reciprocal movements, and rapid-timing tasks––and the theory and data are discussed in terms of past theoretical accounts and future research directions.
