System description of human motor performance: The movements’ construction matrix

Abstract

In contemporary science about human motor behaviour, the theoretical description of motor activities learning and performing becomes more and more necessary. There is a lot of experimental data, which in its “rough” form is not useful, both for scientific and especially for practical purposes. In this paper a theoretical approach termed Movement Construction Matrix (MCM) has been presented. Its coordinates are: Bernstein’s five-level motor control system and the succession of consecutive information processing events: attention, motivation, mind, and prudence. The MCM includes also dynamical movement patterns and efferent copies.
