Exploiting Redundancy for Flexible Behavior: Unsupervised Learning in a Modular Sensorimotor Control Architecture
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Butz, Martin V.; Herbort, Oliver; Hoffmann, Joachim – Psychological Review, 2007
Autonomously developing organisms face several challenges when learning reaching movements. First, motor control is learned unsupervised or self-supervised. Second, knowledge of sensorimotor contingencies is acquired in contexts in which action consequences unfold in time. Third, motor redundancies must be resolved. To solve all 3 of these…

Identifying and Remediating the Developmental Delays of Kindergarten At Risk Students through an Extended Day Program.
Weber, Kathleen M. – 1991
A program was developed for six kindergarten students identified as at risk because of developmental delays. The program involved an hour of instruction after the regular school day, 2 days a weeks for a 10-week period, with a curriculum focusing on visual, auditory, and motor development.
