The information capacity of the human motor system in controlling the amplitude of movement.

Abstract. The original paper introducing what came to be known as Fitts's Law. Drawing on Shannon's information theory, Fitts shows that the time to move to a target is a linear function of the logarithm of the ratio of movement distance to target width, and defines the index of difficulty accordingly.
