ABSTRACT
In chapter 5 we developed a model of perceptual–motor coordination in which misalignment-induced performance errors can be corrected. Such adaptive performance does not address the more fundamental problem of spatial misalignment among sensorimotor systems. Strategic (feedforward and feedback) control and associative (motor) learning are realized by the exchange of control signals among sensorimotor structures that can compensate for performance error induced by spatial misalignment. These adaptive processes do not require the comparison of corresponding positions among spatial representations that is necessary for the detection of misalignment and consequent realignment.
