The Role of Perception in Timing: Feedback Control in Motor Programming and Task Dynamics

  • Chapter
Neural Representation of Temporal Patterns

Abstract

The source of temporal order in human motor behavior is currently the subject of a debate between the advocates of two principal approaches, the motor programming approach and the task-dynamic approach (Meijer and Roth, 1988). Advocates of motor programming argue that timing is determined by a neural program that imposes temporal order on the components of the motor system (Gielen, 1991; Keele, Cohen, and Ivry, 1990; Schmidt, 1988; Viviani and Laissard, 1979). Advocates of the task-dynamic approach argue that timing is determined by a task specific dynamic assembled through interaction among various components of a perception/action system. The components of this system include the nervous system, the muscles, tendons, and joints, as well as circulatory and environmental elements (Beek, 1989; Bingham, 1988; Kelso and Kay, 1986; Kugler and Turvey, 1987). Although the two approaches differ in many respects, the key difference is in the relative importance assigned to perception in modifying ongoing actions.
