TL;DR
The findings from these two experiments support the contention that the time needed to process visual error information and to use this information for movement control is shorter than previous estimates of 190 to 300 msec.
Abstract
The time needed to process visual feedback information for the control of aimed movements was investigated. Experiment 1 demonstrated that withdrawing visual feedback information from the initial portions of aiming responses had little effect on movement outcome. This finding suggested that visual processing times may be faster than previous estimates. The vision manipulation paradigm employed in Experiment 1 was combined with high-speed cinematography. Examination of movement patterns indicated that the average time between the presentation of visual error information and the initiation of a movement correction was 135 msec. The findings from these two experiments support the contention that the time needed to process visual error information and to use this information for movement control is shorter than previous estimates of 190 to 300 msec.

The experiments reported in the present paper extend the theory to the human motor system, including the visual and proprioceptive feedback loops that permit S to monitor his own activity and create an experimental situation in which it is reasonable to assume that performance is limited primarily by the capacity of the motor system.

A closed-loop theory for learning simple movements is presented and empirical generalizations from the literature are stated, and the theory is used to explain them.

489 Citations1969Wolfgang Becker, Albert F. Fuchs
The execution of normal saccadic eye movements was found to depend upon clearly visible fixation points, and experiments suggest that for large angles, the eye movement response is preprogrammed as two movements and that the second saccade in the package is determined by a position error sample of 70 msec.

Examination of motion trajectories qualitatively supported a descriptive model whereby a visually mediated discrete-correction control process is used, as proposed by Crossman and Goodeve and Keele (1968), but evidence of severe nonlinearities in the measured human movement responses did not support the use of linear control models.

It is concluded that vision is not “blanked out” during eye movements, but that it is significantly depressed even under conditions that minimize blur due to movement of the retinal image, and that assure foveal stimulation.

In this experiment, the visual feedback to the oculomotor system is altered in such a manner as to decrease the incidence of undershooting normally seen when the eye makes large interfixational movements.

In the use of many instruments the operator is required to keep two objects in alignment, when one is continually moving with respect to the other, the pursuit-meter, in various forms, has provided such a task for experimental purposes.

The performance of three well-practised subjects on an assembly task was analysed using both an electrical contact technique and high-speed film recording to support the thesis of the constancy of human channel capacity.

In experiments that used a pencil and graph paper targets, it is shown that what is believed to be the intermittency of visual feedback control in a simple motor task is demonstrated.
Vision ResearchError-correcting mechanisms in large saccades
102 Citations1978Claude Prablanc, D. Massé +1 more
It is suggested that extraretinal signals for error detection are not very sensitive, and that in normal conditions reafferent visual feedback can be taken into account before the end of the saccade, to generate a secondary saccades encoded in absolute position, though the information is still available in retinal position.

Results of these experiments indicated that reasonable estimates of the error inherent in the data can be assessed a priori, and, when used in conjunction with the cubic spline, an accurate description of displacement-time data and corresponding time derivatives can be obtained.
