RM: References are never physically available. The target in a tracking task is not the reference for the position of the cursor. The fact that you think so demonstrates a startling lack of understanding of PCT and how it relates to actual behavior.
HB : I wouldn’t push it who understand and who don’t understand PCT. You demosntrated your »not understanding« PCT when you gave the »scientific« explanation to Fred. How would we call that »PCT disaster«. As the text above is concerned I accedentally left out »NOT«. So it’s not like your »target and cursor«, which you most of the time »measure« in distance between them as something happening outside.
RM: I see no way to insert a “not” into the statement above to make it right. But here’s is the statement again:
HB :In »real driving« you perceive your driving through the windshield and you try to »keep« or »adjust« actual perception with references (which are not physically availabel) like your »target and cursor«.
RM: Feel free to show me how you can insert a “not” into it to make it correct. Good luck!
Best
