ABSTRACT

Introduction. Fajen & Warren (2003) modelled locomotor behavior as a dynamical system in which stationary targets and obstacles function as attractors and repellers of an agent’s target-heading angle. Subsequent work extended this model to the case of a moving target (Warren & Fajen, 2002) or a moving obstacle (Warren, Di, & Fajen, 2003). Our purpose is to test whether these four components can be integrated into a general model of locomotor behavior. The present study examines intercepting a moving target in the presence of a stationary obstacle.
