387 – Task Specific Devices & Soft Assemblies Feb 01, 2022

Show notes

How do the components of our motor system flexibly reorganize in response to task demands? How do we use information about performance errors (knowledge of results) to search for new organizations? Do these processes involve the use of hard-wired motor programs or softly assembled devices specific to the constraints associated with the individual and task?

383 – Why I Switched Sides to the Ecological Approach Jan 04, 2022

Show notes

Why did I make the switch in my career from thinking about skill as an indirect, predictive process involving internal models to direct perception, ecological dynamics? Why do I think the latter is a better approach to understanding and developing skill?
