Abstract
This research is an investigation of the effects of
instruction set on tracking performance. Two sets of
instructions, one emphasized accuracy while the other
emphasized speed, were tested. Number of errors, time of
errors and time to completion under each instruction set
were measured. Proportional error in time, mean time of
single errors and mean interval between successive errors
were extracted and discussed. Time to completion under the
accuracw condition was approximatelw four times longer than
under the speed condition, but the number and time of errors
showed no significant difference between the two
experimental conditions.
