TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the initial and terminal temporal accuracy of 5 male top table tennis players performing attacking forehand drives and found that the players did not fully rely on a consistent movement production strategy.

TL;DR: Despite empirical support for the assumption that object size can serve as a metric in the perception of passing distance, the present series of experiments reveals that in catching a ball subjects do not rely on such "point-predictive" information.

TL;DR: The effects of object width and movement amplitude were found to combine in a way predicted by Fitts' law, allowing a generalisation of the latter to the transport component in prehensile actions.

TL;DR: In this article, the coordination of multiple body segments (torso and legs) in the control of standing posture during a suprapostural task was studied, motivated by dynamical theories of motor coordination.

TL;DR: In a forced-choice paradigm, human observers' sensitivity to visual information specifying a moving object's future time of arrival at a designated position in the field of view was evaluated and a geometrical analysis demonstrated that information specifies a first-order temporal relationship is available in the combination of the relative rate of dilation of the optical contour of the moving object and therelative rate of constriction of the Optical gap.
