Document Summary

Psyco 275 - lecture #17 - sensorimotor system. Sensorimotor system: the sensory input guides the motor output. You can feel where your fingers are on the keyboard when typing: complexity of simple movements. Whatever actions she does, she makes it look effortless. However, her actions require a combination of sensory changes happening within her body. Her experience integrates all these movements into one: 3 principles of sensorimotor function smooth sequence. Learning can change the nature and locus (locatino) Example: when starting a new job, there are many little new things you have to think about, but eventually those details become second-nature to you. That is when the locus of control changes, because you don"t require as much effort to complete that particular action. Analogy: large, efficient company - evolving in competitive. This manes that in sensory systems, information is flowing top down environments rather then bottom up.
