ABSTRACT
Motor learning and motor control can be described generally as two interconnected fields of study concerned with the processes and mechanisms underlying the learning and acquirement of movement skills. Two parallel research areas of interest have historically been advanced during this time, namely the concepts of generality and specificity. Early studies were focused on general and specific motor abilities, while recent studies have been centered on open and closed looped motor programs and dynamic and exploratory search systems. In addition, motor learning and motor control are the interconnected areas of study that provide the processes and mechanisms underlying the learning and acquiring of motor skills.
