abstract="Response latencies were compared for three-dimensional brake/accelerator placements (depth, height, and lateral separation). Brake pedal width was found to be the only factor significantly affecting movement time. A comparison between Fitts' and Welford's movement time predictions and experimental response latencies resulted in correlations of .549 (p<.0001) and .543 (p<.0001). Neither movement time equations were able to predict response latencies when the brake pedal was placed 2.54 cm behind the vertical plane of the accelerator. Fitts' and Welford's equations are seen to have limited use in predicting three-dimensional foot movements.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
