The analysis of anticipatory performance in step-like tracking task
Kazuhiko Mori, Kinya Maruyama · Institutional Repositories DataBase (IRDB) · 1983
Four experiments were carried out to analyze the anticipatory response (Maruyama et aI., 1982).As results, (1) it seemed difficult to eliminate the anticipatory response by instructions.(2) The anticipatory response was made in abduction as well as in adduction.(3) When the available view was large enough, the range effect was found.Therefore, the same anticipatory response as the prior experiments was made due to the end-coincidence tracking in the longer average interval side, while it was not made in the shorter average interval side.(4) But, even in the long interval, lessening the range effect by compounding the intervals caused the disappearance of the anticipatory response with lagging the stop target point rather than the start one.(5) In the wavy tracking course, there were found few lead errors and therefore no anticipatory response.It is inferred from these results that the anticipatory response in this study was due to the range effect of interval time in step tracking with the behavior to aim at stop target point under the large preview condition.
