Document Summary

Schmidt"s schema theory: set of rules that defines an abstract memory representation. 2 schemas: recall: assigns movement parameters (fast movements, open loop, recognition: evaluates correctness of movements, compares desired results to actual. Parameters change as movement is happening (lots of movement in environment) A set of muscle commands structured before a movement begins that allows a sequence to be carried out uninfluenced by peripheral feedback (is the control unit for humans!) Development of gmp & recall/recognition schemas (info sources): initial conditions: info about context before movement is made, parameters assigned: force/duration that movement is given, sensory consequences: intrinsic/exteroceptive info received/expected, outcome: intrinsic/extrinsic info about movement once executed (feedback) Input specifications for gmp that not change from 1 execution to the next define how a movement is executed. **invariant features*: order of elements, phasing/relative timing: involves ration/proportion of each component to the total time.
