Summary

Previous investigations of the effects of control-display (C/D) time delay on the performance of continuous tracking systems have all demonstrated a decrease in system performance with increasing delay. A rational analysis of the joint effects of increasing exponential depend upon the particular C/D ratio employed. The present study was designed to demonstrate this intersection between the effects of C/D ratio and exponential time delay on the performance of a two-dimensional tracking task.
