Continuously updating one's predictions underlies successful interception
This paper reviews our understanding of the interception of moving objects. Interception is a
demanding task that requires both spatial and temporal precision. The required precision …

Moving target selection: A cue integration model
This paper investigates a common task requiring temporal precision: the selection of a
rapidly moving target on display by invoking an input event when it is within some selection …

Intercepting virtual balls approaching under different gravity conditions: evidence for spatial prediction
To accurately time motor responses when intercepting falling balls we rely on an internal
model of gravity. However, whether and how such a model is also used to estimate the …

Catching a ball at the right time and place: individual factors matter
Intercepting a moving object requires accurate spatio-temporal control. Several studies have
investigated how the CNS copes with such a challenging task, focusing on the nature of the …

Effects of visual blur and contrast on spatial and temporal precision in manual interception
The visual system is said to be especially sensitive towards spatial but lesser so towards
temporal information. To test this, in two experiments, we systematically reduced the acuity …

The StartReact effect in tasks requiring end-point accuracy
JM Castellote, J Valls-Solé - Clinical Neurophysiology, 2015 - Elsevier
Objective Fast and accurate movements are often performed in response to a sensory
signal. In reaction time tasks, execution of open loop movements is speeded up when a …

Anticipatory gaze strategies when gras** moving objects
MC Bulloch, SL Prime, JJ Marotta - Experimental brain research, 2015 - Springer
Gras** moving objects involves both spatial and temporal predictions. The hand is aimed
at a location where it will meet the object, rather than the position at which the object is seen …

Advance knowledge effects on kinematics of one-handed catching
The purpose of this experiment was to examine the effects of advance knowledge on the
kinematics of one-handed catching. Balls were launched from a distance of 8.4 m by a ball …

Controlling speed and direction during interception: an affordance-based approach
The coordination of direction and speed of self-motion when intercepting a target moving
parallel to the ground plane was examined. Subjects viewed a computer-generated …
