#11. Revised Motor Scheme [neuroscience]


Red, theory; black, fact

How skilled behavior may be generated on the assumption that it is acquired by an experimentation-like process.


A revised version of the motor control theory presented in the last post 

The revision was necessitated by the fact that there is no logical reason why a motor command cannot go to both sides of the body at once to produce a mid line-symmetrical movement. The prediction is that mid-line-symmetrical movements are acquired one side at a time whenever the controlling corticofugal pathway allows the two sides to move independently.
