Study Notes
Speed-Accuracy Tradeoff
- A fundamental principle of motor behavior
- A tradeoff exists between speed and accuracy
- Increased speed negatively impacts accuracy, and vice-versa
- Spatial accuracy is governed by the speed-accuracy tradeoff
- Temporal accuracy, or timing accuracy, is not
- Temporal accuracy improves with speed increases or when movement distance decreases
- Forceful movements benefit from emphasizing speed
- Lab experiments show these tradeoffs and limitations
- Complex motor skills often involve spatial and temporal accuracy, often needing forceful movements
- Early stages of skill acquisition may benefit more from an emphasis on speed than accuracy
Implications for Practice
- Guidelines are limited in laboratory settings and not directly applicable to real-world situations
- Complex skills usually combine multiple factors besides speed and accuracy
- Early skill development may be hindered if accuracy is strongly prioritized
- Practice techniques, such as in-step soccer kicks, often focus on achieving the goal rather than technique
