Abstract

Models of emotional activity consider that the emotional state can have general effects on movement control. This control depends on programmed movement invariants (movement sequence, duration of the relative phases, etc.) and on the setting of the movement parameters (amplitude, velocity, etc.). This study of 14 adults shows an influence of the emotional state upon movement kinematics, namely, the peak velocity and the peak acceleration, the amplitude, and the duration of the acceleration phase.
