Review:
motor symphony, central pattern generation, distributed (no conductor), genetics/experience, multiple interconnected boxes, corollary discharge, effects on input, expectation, choice, purpose/conflicting purposes, neocortex as inhibitor and creator of novel patterns ...
I-function less good than unconscious at many tasks involving uncertainty, multiple variables; better at new tasks, and at "alerting" when things don't go "right"
Go on to input side
Key points:
- Input is always incomplete (and affected by output)
- Input is always interpreted based on prior information (including genetic information)
- Input is always ambiguous
- Interpretation is improved (but not completed) by combining multiple perspectives, resolving conflicts
- Both input and interpretation are different for different people
- What we see is a "story" reflecting unconscious processes
- "Reality" is a collective story, reflecting (desirably) the different perspecties of different people
What particular aspect of our discussions of the motor and sensory sides of the nervous system seem most useful for your classroom, for your teaching in general? Write some thoughts/questions in the institute forum area.
