Development of feedforward control in a dynamic manual tracking task

To remain successful at higher target velocities, they had to create a predictive model of the target’s motion. The ability to track the target at higher velocities increased, and the application of a feedback‐based step‐and‐hold strategy decreased with age, as shown by increases in maximum target velocity and decreases in number of stops between ages 6–7 and 8–9 and between ages 8–9 and 10–11. The ability to exploit feedforward control in a dynamic tracking task improves significantly with age
