Document Summary

Sensory information is essential for all theories of motor control and learning. Information after the movement (to examine errors and determine modification) The focus in this book is on three types: Vision (hearing is also important but not in the book. Hearing is a good indication of surroundings that you might not be able to see) (smell could also be important) Role of tactile information: movement accuracy, movement consistency, movement force adjustments, picking something up. A can of soda that you thought was empty but it"s half full. You quickly adjust to the weight differences: movement distance estimation, important if we are making a movement. How far should it move to hit the ball just right. The socket will detect the rotation and the force being used. Walking too: detects changes in joint movement angle. Deafferentation techniques (used to study proprioception: surgical deafferentation, afferent neural pathways associated with movements of interest have been surgically removed or altered.
