Paul Morris Fitts Jr. (May 6, 1912 – May 2, 1965) was a psychologist at the Ohio State University (later at the University of Michigan). He developed a model of human movement, Fitts's law, based on rapid, aimed movement, which went on to become one of the most highly successful and well studied mathematical models of human motion. By focusing his attention on human factors during his time as Lieutenant Colonel in the US Air Force, Fitts became known as one of the pioneers in improving aviation safety. There are also indications Fitts worked in some capacity as a consultant concerning the interview of alleged UFO witnesses, and was planning work on how terrestrial or psychological explanations could account for UFO sightings.

  • Paul Morris Fitts (* 6. Mai 1912 in Martin, Tennessee; † 1965) war ein US-amerikanischer Psychologe an der Ohio State University und später an der University of Michigan. 1954 entwickelte er ein Modell zu Armbewegungen des Menschen, Fitts’ Gesetz. Es besagt, dass die Dauer ein Ziel zu erreichen, eine Funktion der Distanz zum Ziel und dessen Größe sei. Getestet wurde dieser Zusammenhang hauptsächlich, indem Versuchspersonen einen Punkt mit einem Stift treffen sollten. (de)
