The author aimed to review some of the early research on goal-directed aiming and reaching. R. S. Woodworth's (1899) well known, and often referenced, paper is only one of the research papers, prior to the revolutionary paper of P. M. Fitts ( 1954 ), which had a significant effect on knowledge of human movements. When Fitts' work was published, much of the previous work was forgotten, as the new paradigm paved the way for a better theoretical basis for the understanding of human movement and, in particular, movement times. There was research prior to Woodworth and between Woodworth and Fitts that has made a contribution to understanding of aimed movements. Woodworth gave results that can still be of use today and made a number of postulations about the way that movements are performed. His and other data are reanalyzed in light of modern models, taking regard of the limitations in those experiments.
作者旨在回顾一些关于目标导向瞄准和伸手动作的早期研究。R. S. 伍德沃思（1899年）那篇著名且经常被引用的论文，只是在P. M. 菲茨（1954年）具有革命性的论文之前，众多对人类运动知识有重大影响的研究论文之一。当菲茨的研究成果发表时，之前的许多研究都被遗忘了，因为新的范式为理解人类运动，尤其是运动时间，奠定了更好的理论基础。在伍德沃思之前以及在伍德沃思和菲茨之间，都有研究为理解目标导向动作做出了贡献。伍德沃思给出的结果至今仍有参考价值，并且对动作执行方式提出了一些假设。鉴于那些实验的局限性，我们根据现代模型对他的数据以及其他数据进行了重新分析。
