The effect of amplitude and accuracy requirements on movement time in children.

The object of this study was to investigate how children control their movements, through- the analysis of Fitts' Law on subjects 5, 7, 9, and 11 yr of age. Children had to perform rapid alternative pointing movements between two targets, varying in width and distance (level of difficulty of the task). The analysis of movement time showed that, as children grow up, movement speed increased and was gradually less affected by the level of difficulty of a given task; moreover the respective effects of accuracy and amplitude requirements on movement time changed with age, resulting in distinct evolutive patterns. The results are thereby discussed in relation to the respective development of both programming and guiding components of movement in children. A few observations about ocular strategies during the task were also noted.
