Publisher Summary A system that controls time is rather general in its application; it is used not only to control different muscles in the course of motor production but also to judge the durations of perceived events. This system is called a “module.” The discussion of force control and speed is conducted within the framework of analyzing timing because it shows that modules are separable from timing. Two themes of the motor control system are described in the chapter: a general one and a more specific one. The general theme concerns whether the motor control system is composed of independent modules in which each module performs specialized computations. The second more specific theme focuses on the hypothesized existence of a timing module with subsidiary discussion of force control and maximum rate of movement. A modular analysis of skill not only makes use of individual differences as a method for defining modules but may also be instrumental in bolstering the study of individual differences itself. |
