Maximal and sub-maximal movement times for a reciprocal tapping task, and associated Fitts' law data.

Abstract

Spreadsheet which provides the mean maximal and sub-maximal movement times (in seconds) to perform a reciprocal tapping task across seven indexes of difficulty (IDs). This task was performed by 10 non-disabled participants, and the spreadsheet provides details of their age and gender. For details about how the IDs were calculated please see the associated publication.n In addition to the movement time data, the spreadsheet also gives the calculations of the two main Fitts' law parameters that were measured: R2 (linearity) and the difference between the fastest and slowest movement time for the four equivalent IDs (ID 3.6). The equivalent IDs had the same difficulty (ID = 3.6), but different combinations of target width and amplitude (details of these are provided within the publication).n
