Training to Study Coordinated Motor Acts

Abstract

The main results of six experiments are as follows: (i) pitch-streaming does not appear to affect polyrhythmic performance; (ii) the data show timing dependencies between the hand except when visual information was blocked; (iii) subjects performed well at high speeds keeping to within 10% of the desired speed, but details of performance suffered leading to greater instability in rhythmic performance; (iv) on the few occasions when the 5:3 rhythm became unstable, performances shifted towards a 2:1 polyrhythm.
