Short Review of Human Motor Behavior: Phenomena, Theories, and Systems

摘要

In this paper we survey three facets of human motor behavior--phenomena,theories, and implementations. We are particularly concerned with motor behavior that exhibits improvements over time and practices; this is referred to as human motor learning. We begin by discussing both performance and learning phenomena that have been observed in laboratory situations. This is followed with a review of three prominent theories of human motor control from the psychological literature. The performance and learning phenomena serve as a foundation on which to compare these theories. Finally, we consider several implemented models of motor learning that have attended to constraints imposed either by the phenomena introduced earlier or by the physiological structure of the human neuromuscular system. From the material surveyed. We conclude that more research on computational model would help answer in human motor behavior.
