Abstract

This paper describes an experiment performed to extend the theory of cognitive fit to the realm of human performance on motor tasks. Participants completed several virtual control motor tasks consisting of rotational and translational control components. The tasks were performed with user interfaces that either combined or separated rotational and translational control. The tasks were of 2 types: control of either rotation or translation changes but not both concurrently, or simultaneous control of combined rotation and translation changes. Results indicate that task performance was better when the characteristics of the interface matched the characteristics of the task. Actual or potential applications of this research are discussed.
