Positional relationship between ball and fingers for accurate baseball pitching.

Accurately throwing an object to a target position repeatedly is one of the specific human motor skills. The final arrival position of a thrown ball can be determined by its physical state at release. In baseball pitching, reducing the variability of the velocity angle of the ball at release (release angle) is important for reducing the variability of the pitch location.

The ability to appropriately distinguish throws for different target positions.

Repeated and accurate throwing of an object to a target position is a special human motor skill. It is particularly important to understand accuracy, which has received less attention than speed due to difficulties in measurement. Accuracy has been studied in terms of reducing errors against a single target, but also in terms of distinguishing appropriate throws for targets in different positions.

Changes in error-correction behavior according to visuomotor maps in goal-directed projection tasks.

Humans can move objects to target positions out of their reach with certain accuracy by throwing or hitting them with tools. However, the outcome-the final object position-after the same movement varies due to various internal and external factors. Therefore, to improve outcome accuracy, humans correct their movements in the following trial as necessary by estimating the relationship between movement and visual outcome (visuomotor map).
