Excerpt from The Inaccuracy of Movement: With Special Reference to Constant Errors The student of the psychology of movement is, to say the least, not hampered by the novelty of his subject. Ever since the days of the muscle sense controversy investigator after investigator has interested himself in the subject of movement until a considerable body of motor psychology, in turn acclaimed and condemned, has developed. The present study is not directly concerned with the implications of movement, nor with the relation of movement to mental processes with which an analytic psychology is largely concerned. As an experimental investigation it grew out of a number of interesting and not at once explicable observations of constant errors in exercises on the accuracy of the perception and reproduction of arm movements. The accuracy of movement has frequently been the subject of special study, from different points of view and not infrequently with varying or inconsistent results. As has often been pointed out, this inconsistency is partly due to the extreme complexity of the sensations aroused by the movement of the parts of the body usually employed - chiefly the upper and lower limbs and the eyes. Introspective analysis of the sensation of movement is exceedingly difficult. Coming, as it does, from a great number of sources - the muscles, ligaments, tendons, articular surfaces and skin - and closely associated as it is with the spatial order of other senses, particularly that of vision, it seems to present a highly complex fusion, the components of which do not readily yield themselves to the efforts of introspective discrimination. Further, as will be more fully developed in a later chapter, the process of recognition and judgment of extent seems to consist, first, of a reference of the movement to a familiar and rather loosely defined group, followed by its approximate recognition as this or that movement. Many of the constant errors and illusions of movement may be found to depend on the nature of this process. A third source of discrepancy in comparative results is shown by the present experiments to lie in the methods of control and record used.
