The arrangement of instruments, the distance between instruments, and the position of instrument pointers as determinants of performance in an eye-hand coordination task /
Three experiments are reported In which the effects of various visual stimulus patterns formed by different arrangements of instruments and pointers ere studied. For the task employed, which as a continuous, dual-pursuit problem, the results of all three experiments are in agreement in indicating th...
