The movement is inescapable in human-computer interaction (HCI). This is an important concept for user interaction with devices. Motor movements include: Typing, Pointing, Clicking, Dragging, Drawing, Pinching 

Motor Behavior

Experiments have always played an important role in Human-Computer Interaction.
