Pursuit Rotor Task
Participants attempt to keep a hand-held stylus (or a cursor under mouse/finger control) in continuous contact with a small target that moves along a circular path on a rotating turntable. Time-on-target across trials and sessions indexes visuomotor tracking ability and procedural motor skill learning.
