Since the classic studies of Woodworth (1899), the role of
vision in the control of movement has been an important
research topic in experimental psychology. While many early
studies were concerned with the relative importance of vision
and kinesthesis and/or the time it takes to use visual
information, recent theoretical and technical developments
have stimulated scientists to ask questions about how
different sources of visual information contribute to motor
control in different contexts.
In this volume, articles are
presented that provide a broad coverage of the current
research and theory on vision and human motor learning and
control. Many of the contributors are colleagues that have
met
over the years at the meetings and conferences concerned with
human movement. They represent a wide range of affiliation
and
background including kinesiology, physical education,
neurophysiology, cognitive psychology and neuropsychology.
Thus the topic of vision and motor control is addressed from
a
number of different perspectives. In general, each author
sets
an empirical and theoretical framework for their topic, and
then discusses current work from their own laboratory, and
how
it fits into the larger context. A synthesis chapter at the end of
the volume identifies commonalities in the work and suggests
directions for future experimentation.
