How do the most recent theories distance themselves from the idea of a fundamentally reactive system in Motor Control?
- By highlighting the influence of genetic factors on motor behavior
- By considering interactions among multiple systems as controls
- By focusing on central and peripheral control mechanisms

Study Notes
Motor Control Theories
- Reflex Theory: reflexes are the building blocks of complex behavior intended to achieve a common objective
- Hierarchical Theory: the central nervous system (CNS) is organized in hierarchical levels, with higher association areas followed by motor cortex and spinal levels of motor function
- Dynamic Action Theory: when individual parts of a system are integrated, they act collectively in an organized manner
- Theory of Parallel Distributed Processing (PDP): describes how the nervous system processes information to act
- Activity-Oriented Theory: explains how neural circuits operate to complete an action, providing a clearer picture of the motor system
- Ecological Theory: explores how motor systems interact with surroundings to develop goal-oriented behavior
- Systems Theory: movements are controlled by interactions among multiple systems, not centrally or peripherally
Motor Learning Theories
- Motor Learning (ML): internal processes associated with practice and experience, producing relatively permanent changes in motor activity
- Gentile's 2-stage model:
- Stage 1: understanding the task, developing movement strategies, and interpreting environmental information
- Stage 2: not explicitly mentioned in the text
- Bernstein's 3-stage model:
- Stage 1: not explicitly mentioned in the text
- Stage 2: not explicitly mentioned in the text
- Stage 3: quantifying degrees of freedom, the number of independent movements needed to complete an action
