Abstract
Analysis of both the criterion and reproduction movements from a motor short-term memory experiment using preselected movement is presented. The movement cues under imvestigation, location and distance, were found to interact significantly with amplitude for both the criterion and reproduction movements. It seems that movement cue affects the amplitude of criterion as well as reproduction movements. Thus previous findings by Gundry (1975) are replicated and extended. An increase in a central tendency effect over trials was found which indicated that the criterion movements were effected by proceding movements. The theoretical and methodological implications of these findings are discussed.
