Briggs' Information-processing Model of the Binary Classification TaskFirst published in 1983. This monograph is a review of the evolution of George Briggs' informationprocessing model from a general schema beginning with the work of Saul Sternberg (1969a) and Edward E. Smith (1968) to a fairly well-detailed schematic representation of central processes that Briggs was working on at the time of his early death. |

Page v - ... per response to the difficulty index. The use of 2A makes the index correspond rationally to the number of successive fractionations required to specify the tolerance range out of a total range extending from the point of initiation of a movement to a point equidistant on the opposite side of the target.
Page vi - At the same time there is no doubt of the validity of the empirical statement, Fitts's law, because the general function has been replicated by other investigators. Briggs...
