Abstract
Motor learning is an expanding field and one in which theoretical perspectives are changing. This review will, therefore, be selective, making only passing reference to some of the classical topics such as feedback and transfer but focusing on what seem to me to be some of the important issues of the moment.

This chapter proposes a theoretical framework structured around the notion of a set of active schemas, organized according to the particular action sequences of which they are a part, awaiting the appropriate set of conditions so that they can become selected to control action.

The chapter presents the theoretical view of skilled performance that minimizes the role of motor behavior per se, and removes the principal basis for the commonly made distinction between the verbal and motor processes.

These findings establish that mental images for errors of movement can produce stable visual-motor changes that cannot be accounted for simply by subjects' expectations regarding the actual consequences of their actions.

The present study examines several methodological and conceptual problems which have made it difficult to accept the hypothesis that mental practice facilitates behavioral skill and reports on an experiment on skill in speech production which overcomes the methodological problems.

149 Citations1982Peter Johnson
A method of investigating mental imagery is presented which shows that movements and imagery of movements are functionally equivalent and the role of visual imagery in movement control is discussed in terms of spatial representations.

The discussion considered several possible reason for the outcome: the motor task was dominated by visual and proprioception factors rather than cognitive ones, the method of delivering knowledge of results may have minimized cognitive factors, or the hypothesis is wrong.
