Journal ArticleDOI
The law relating the kinematic and figural aspects of drawing movements
TL;DR: The fact that the velocity of execution increases with the radius of curvature implies a built-in tendency of the motor control system to keep angular velocity relatively constant and qualifies the Isogony Principle proposed previously.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trajectory determines movement dynamics.
Paolo Viviani,C.A. Terzuolo +1 more
TL;DR: A tentative interpretation of the principle is proposed which results from the assumption that the actual movement is produced as a continuous approximation to an intended movement, and that the well known relationship between movement speed and extent in rectilinear trajectories (Fitts' law) also applies to such continuous approximation.
Book ChapterDOI
32 Space-Time Invariance in Learned Motor Skills
P. Viviani,C.A. Terzuolo +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors generalize the notion of homotetic behavior in the time domain for learned motor sequences, that is, the presence of an invariant structure in such sequences, from typing to handwriting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determinants and characteristics of motor patterns used for typing
C.A. Terzuolo,P. Viviani +1 more
TL;DR: It has been concluded that an anatomico-functional representation of the motor patterns used by professional typists are likely to be permanently available in the nervous system which consists of a set of basic motor engrams for the most common words and groups of letters.
Journal ArticleDOI
An algorithm for the generation of curvilinear wrist motion in an arbitrary plane in three-dimensional space.
John F. Soechting,C.A. Terzuolo +1 more
TL;DR: An algorithm is presented which specifies in a unique way the angular motion at the shoulder and elbow joints by utilizing a coordinate transformation, which is only approximate, between the chosen extrinsic (trajectory) and intrinsic (joint angles) parameters.
