Chapter 5 Motor Control Theories
Information flow and action control • Feedback guided control or closed-loop control
Information flow and action control • Planned control or open-loop control
The give and take of information flow • Is one type of control better than the other? • Is one type of control better for discrete, serial, or continuous skills? • Is one type of control better for an open or closed environment or skill? • What is an advantage of closed-loop control? • What is an advantage of open-loop control?
Why are theories important? • Theories provide a framework for understanding phenomena • Theories provide a framework for understanding outcomes • Theories provide a framework for developing applications
Theories of Action or Motor Control • At the most general level: What do motor control/learning theories need to explain? • Coordination • Degrees of freedom and DF problem • Constraints
Theories of Action or Motor Control • At the specific level of events or actions: how have motor control/learning theories attempted to explain things? • Coordination: What are the controlled variables? • How is the action controlled? • How are DF organized or constrained to reduce the problem of control and/or coordination?
Motor program theories • Central representation • Selection rules • How is a program assembled?
Schmidt’s Schema theory: GMP • Generalized motor program (GMP) • What type of actions was the theory designed to explain?
Schmidt’s Schema Theory:MRS • Motor response schema (MRS) • Examples of GMPs and parameters
