Effect of mental fatigue on speed-accuracy trade-off

Effect of mental fatigue on speed-accuracy trade-off. Vianney Rozand, Florent Lebon, Charalambos Papaxanthis, Romuald Lepers, Neuroscience, Available online 4 April 2015, ISSN 0306-4522, http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroscience.2015.03.066.

Previous studies suggested that the speed-accuracy trade-off is altered in specific cases, e.g., the patients with Friedreich ataxia that alter motor coordination but not cognitive functions (Corben et al., 2011) or the elderly (Sleimen-Malkoun et al., 2013). In these populations, movement duration was slowed compared to healthy young subjects, especially for higher difficulties.
