Solving Bernstein's Problem: A Proposal for the Development of Coordinated Movement by Selection.
Sporns, Olaf; Edelman, Gerald M.
Child Development, v64 n4 p960-81 Aug 1993
In the 1930s, Bernstein pointed out that more than one motor signal can trigger the same physical movement and that identical motor signals can lead to different movements, a dilemma that continues to puzzle scientists. Based on results from computer simulations, posits that these motor signals can be grouped into categories that correspond to specific patterns of movement. (MDM)
