ABSTRACT
In this chapter, I suggest that we think of skills as functions. Namely, as functions from intentions to controlled, successful actions, where the functional transformations from intention to action are implemented by control structures that have been developed through practice. When it comes to embodied skills, control structures are hierarchically organized and function on at least three levels: strategic, attentional, and motor. I discuss the relevant types of control and how to understand them and their relation to one another below.
