ABSTRACT
Order in our behavior is based on spatiotemporal selective processes that take place both in the input channels and in the output channels of the central nervous system. On the input side the organism is confronted with an abundance of internal and external stimuli that, without selection, would provoke behavioral chaos. Motoric behavior consists of simultaneous and successive muscle contractions in ever changing patterns, which are themselves a manifestation of selection in the output channels. Thus one of the prerequisites for normal behavior is selection. To understand behavior, we have to understand how selection takes place and where.
