Position and acceleration dynamics were paired in a 2-coordinate tracking task so that both identical and different dynamics were used with the following display-control configurations: 1-dot display, 1-stick control; 1-dot display, 2-stick control; 2-dot display, 1-stick control; and 2-dot display, 2-stick control. The results showed a striking shift in the order of tracking proficiency for the various display-control configurations with the change from identical to different coordinate dynamics. When the same dynamics are used, the influence of displays predominates. However, when different dynamics are used in each coordinate, controls are the important determiners of accuracy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
