Document Summary
Definition: how movements/actions interact with themselves or other movements. Fit"s la(cid:449): the faster you move the more errors you make. The smaller the area the slower you get. If target width increases the movement is easier. If w is decreased the movement is harder and you slow down. If the distance between targets (d) is larger the movement is harder and you slow down. If you double the distance between targets, your movement time increases by a consistent amount, if you make it small, movement decreases by a consistent amount. How fast you move and the types of movement dictates how movement is going to turn out. Interference: changes the dynamics of movement (how it is carried out) Your brain is attached on both side. The connections that are interconnected on both sides are being interfered: as we develop, we learn the ability to inhibit the one side.
