ResumoPublisher Summary This chapter discusses the various theoretical approaches to the learning of motor skills. Some of the persistent problems for theory are discussed, and the Schmidt (1975a) schema theory is reviewed, showing how some of these problems can be handled with this approach. In open-loop theories or models of learning and performance, movement control is assumed to be regulated by a central program that determines all of the relevant spatial and temporal details of a motor act such as a baseball swing. A persistent problem that has faced theorists in motor control is how the individual can come to recognize his own errors and to produce corrections in subsequent responses. The schema theory postulates two separate states of memory, one for recall and one for recognition, as Adams' theory had done. The specific roles of recall and recognition memory depend slightly upon the type of task, but basically recall that memory is the state responsible for the generation of impulses to the musculature that carry out movement or movement corrections, while recognition memory is the state responsible for evaluation of response-produced feedback that makes the generation of error information possible about the movement.
