Forward-up directional incompatibilities during cursor placement within graphical user interfaces / James G. Phillips, Thomas J. Triggs, James W. Meehan

Within graphical user interfaces, an indirect relationship between display and control may lead to directional incompatibilities when a forward mouse movement codes upward cursor motions. However, this should not occur for left-right movements or direct cursor controllers. Indirect relationships between display and control led to less efficient movements with prolonged decelerative phases and a tendency to undershoot movements along the bottom-top axis. More direct cursor control devices, such as touch sensitive screens, should enhance the efficiency of aspects of cursor trajectories
