ABSTRACT

Metastability in complex, dynamical systems has been conceptualised as a region of performance where two competing tendencies simultaneously coexist: the tendency of the components to couple together and the tendency for the components to express their intrinsic independent behaviour (Kelso, 2012; Seifert, Button, & Davids, 2013). It provides a fundamental research paradigm for understanding the emergence of movement patterns variability and more broadly skill acquisition in individuals.
