Document Summary
Develop through practice, our experience or naturally. Related to the dynamic systems theory the environment driving movement. Linking together or coupling of information and movement. Perception part: detection and utilization of critical information for the control of action. Example: various movements that are regulated by the perceived information. Reciprocal fit between characteristics of the person and the environment that allow certain actions to happen. Ex: ratio of leg length to stair height determines whether a set of stairs is climbable. Another example: in this case, you"ve got a push button operation at the door so your hand can just bump the handle and that is it. If a door knob was there, your hand posture would change it would be open to allow you to wrap your hand around the handle. Environment affords you a certain type of action or movement response. Both the motor program-based theory and dynamical systems theory predominate.
