What is The Neural and Behavioural Organization of Goal-Directed Movements (Oxford Psychology Series) about?

This book deals with a problem central to the relations of brain and behaviour: the organization of goal-directed movements. The importance of movement, not only as a probe for studying brain mechanisms, but also as a clue to psychological functions, has been heralded by such eminent figures as H. von Helmholtz, R. S. Woodworth, C. S. Sherrington, N. Berstein, P. Fitts, and many others. This volume comprises six chapters, centered on the main aspects of the organization of movements. Many questions are raised (very few are answered) concerning the motor mechanisms and their implementation in goal-directed actions. An investigation of a subject at the boundaries of psychology and physiology. The author's account is based upon experimental data from human and animal work with particular emphasis on illustrative clinical cases. The organization of goal-directed movements is a problem central to the relations of brain and behaviour in humans and other animals. Movement represents a clue to the study of brain mechanisms and psychological functions. The use of behaving animals in neurophysiological laboratories has allowed direct investigation of the role of discrete neural mechanisms in
