This study was designed to assess how the precision requirements of discrete aiming movements affect the utility of brief visual samples provided during execution of movement. Subjects pointed with a hand-held stylus to targets with indices of difficulty of 3, 4, 5, and 6 bits with full vision, no vision, and in conditions in which 20-msec. visual samples were provided every 80, 140, or 200 msec. While intermittent vision required slightly longer movement times for targets with a high index of difficulty, subjects' accuracy was similar to the full-vision situation. Moreover, with intermittent vision, the movement trajectories resembled the full-vision and not the no-vision situation. It would appear that brief visual samples of the movement environment are sufficient for reasonably precise closed-loop control.

For the effective use of modern tools, the inherent visuo-motor transformation needs to be mastered. The successful adjustment to and learning of these transformations crucially depends on practice conditions, particularly on the type of visual feedback during practice. Here, a review about empirical research exploring the influence of continuous and terminal visual feedback during practice on the mastery of visuo-motor transformations is provided. Two studies investigating the impact of the type of visual feedback on either direction-dependent visuo-motor gains or the complex visuo-motor transformation of a virtual two-sided lever are presented in more detail. The findings of these studies indicate that the continuous availability of visual feedback supports performance when closed-loop control is possible, but impairs performance when visual input is no longer available. Different approaches to explain these performance differences due to the type of visual feedback during practice are considered. For example, these differences could reflect a process of re-optimization of motor planning in a novel environment or represent effects of the specificity of practice. Furthermore, differences in the allocation of attention during movements with terminal and continuous visual feedback could account for the observed differences.
