Dexterity and Its Development
None
Book • 1996
Nikolai Bernstein's "Dexterity and Its Development" is a seminal work in the field of motor control and motor learning.
It presents Bernstein's groundbreaking ideas on how humans develop and refine their motor skills through practice and adaptation.
The book challenges traditional views of motor learning as simply memorizing and repeating specific movement patterns.
Bernstein emphasizes the importance of variability and adaptation in skill acquisition, arguing that learners should explore different movement solutions to find the most effective and efficient ones.
He introduces the concept of "repetition without repetition," which highlights the idea that each movement is unique and shaped by the context in which it occurs.
The book explores the degrees of freedom problem, suggesting that the nervous system simplifies complex movements by coordinating groups of muscles to act as functional units.
Bernstein's work provides a framework for understanding how humans adapt to changing environmental conditions and improve their motor skills through experience.
