Document Summary
Constraints-based (motor control: separate and different point of view how motor acquisition takes place. Primary disagreements: motor programs (and why the exist) Memory trace (can remember how far they moved) Perceptual trace (perception of the movement they made, can use this info to correct the movement they made) Sets of instructions to make a goal movement. Theory doesn"t give account in how we learn new things. Storage program (can"t fit all motor programs in brain) How to do novel skill effectively if these motor programs have the instructions to do one specific thing. Muscle selection: change: a basketball player may need to take a layup with both left and right hand, depending on the circumstance. When performing with left hand, attach the parameters by selecting different muscles to accomplish the task. Absolute timing and absolute forces are both parameters as well.
