“…Thus for two very different illusory configurations, visual context does appear to be important for online control. This should not be surprising in view of the fact that under nonillusory conditions, a rich visual context has been shown to increase the accuracy of goal-directed movement (e.g., Mace, 1931), and visual context has been touted as an important source of information for interception tasks in which time to contact with an approaching object is judged by the expansion of its texture elements relative to the visual background (Savelsbergh, Whiting, & Bootsma, 1991). For further discussion of these matters, see Elliott and Meegan (2004).…”

Two experiments used Müller-Lyer stimuli to test the predictions of the planning-control model (S. Glover, 2002) for aiming movements. In Experiment 1, participants aimed to stimuli that either remained the same or changed upon movement initiation. Experiment 2 was identical except that the duration of visual feedback for online control was manipulated. The authors found that the figures visible during movement planning and online control had additive effects on endpoint bias, even when participants had ample time to use visual feedback to modify their movements (Experiment 2). These findings are problematic not only for the planning-control model but also for A. D. Milner and M. A. Goodale's (1995) two visual system explanation of illusory bias. Although our results are consistent with the idea that a single representation is used for perception, movement planning, and online control (e.g., V. H. Franz, 2001), other work from our laboratory and elsewhere suggests that the manner in which space is coded depends on constraints associated with the specific task, such as the visual cues available to the performer.

“…If spatial complexity is a factor in determining target aiming asymmetry then it should be possible to diminish or eliminate typical right hand advantages by increasing the spatial complexity of the same general task. One way to manipulate the spatial demands of the aiming task is to require subjects to interpolate (e.g., Mace, 1931) or extrapolate (Carson, Goodman & Elliott, 1992) a target position rather than to present an explicit target. Presumably the spatial demands of establishing target position, or what we are terming spatial complexity, will increase with the amount of extrapolation or interpolation involved (see Carson, 1989aCarson, , 1989b.…”

Two experiments were conducted to determine if typical right hand target aiming advantages could be reduced or eliminated by increasing the spatial demands of the aiming task. In Experiment 1, we found right hand advantages for both movement time and error regardless of spatial characteristics of the task. When we introduced a greater degree of spatial uncertainty in Experiment 2, subjects exhibited a left hand reaction time advantage. Taken together our results suggest that the right cerebral hemisphere may have a special role to play in preparing the spatial aspects of an aiming movement, while the left hemisphere is more important for movement execution.Resume Deux experiences ont et6 effectuees afin de determiner si l'augmentation des demandes spatiales de la tache de visee pouvait reduire ou eliminer les avantages typiquement reli6s a la main droite lorsque celle-ci s'oriente vers une cible. Dans Pexperience 1, nous avons observe des avantages relies a la main droite pour ce qui est de la duree du mouvement et de la marge d'erreur, peu importe les caracteristiques spatiales de la tSche. Dans Fexp6rience 2 ou le degre d'incertitude spatiale etait plus 61eve, nous avons observe chez les sujets un avantage relie a la main gauche et au temps de reaction. Mis ensemble, les resultats laissent supposer que l'hemisphere cerdbral droit pourrait jouer un role particulier dans la preparation des aspects spatiaux des mouvements dirig6s vers une cible, tandis que I'h6misphere gauche serait plus important pour l'execution des mouvements.Asymmetries in the performance of various manual tasks are often attributed to the proficiency of the contralateral cerebral hemisphere for specific types of processing (Todor & Smiley, 1985). For example, right-hand advantages for finger sequencing (Edwards & Elliott, 1987) and rapid finger tapping (Todor, Kyprie, & Price, 1982) have been ascribed to left hemisphere specialization for the organization and control of sequential movement. Left side superiority for tasks involving tactile discrimination (Benton, Varney, &

“…The evidence so far is not conclusive. The results do tally, however, with observations made both outside the psychological laboratory and in non-psychometric experimental situations (Mace, 1931;Gibbs, 1951;Mowbray, 1953;Helson, 1948). Many of the factors determining behaviour in real life situations have traditionally been ignored in the group mental testing situation.…”
