| summary | In order to catch or hit a ball, swat a running insect, or just grasp an apple
that is handed to you, you have to consider both when and where the
interception will take place. But that is not all. Some aspects of how people
move to intercept moving targets give the impression of resulting from
judgment errors, or at least from people not making full use of all possible
information. I will argue that people are actually just very flexible in how they
intercept moving targets, and that this flexibility is important for their
proficiency at interception. I will provide evidence that the movement strategy
is tailored to deal with the most relevant constraints of the task at hand.
Moreover I will discuss why it is essential to continuously improve predictions
as the movement unfolds, and the limitations of such fast control during the
movement. The emphasis will be on arm movements, but I will also briefly
dwell on the need to pursue the moving target with ones eyes. |
