14
Q
What is the generalised motor program
A
- A motor program that represents a class of similar skills or skill variations, so that it can be modified to specific movement requirements
- Central concepts in this view are invariant features, parameters, and the schema

Q
Dynamic system theory approach factors include: 7
A
not about the brain but the body and the constraints, think nature (leaf falling is random at the start and then falls into a pattern
- non-linear dynamics and complexity
- self organisation - body solves the movement problem give the interaction of constraints
- constraints: task, environment body (organismic)
- Attractors and non-linear transitions (ball in hollowed out attractor well), tapping task, treadmill, walk to walk
- affordances: shapes and guide movements that tell us what to do
- perception-action coupling - seeing opportunities for action
- degrees of freedom, when learning will initially reduce, then we open up and eventually we exploit them
