The Sensorimotor

The sensorimotor system functions in a hierarchical and organized manner. At the highest levels is the association cortex which directs commands down through lower levels like muscles. Motor output is guided by sensory input, with sensory feedback playing an important role in directing ongoing responses. Learning can change the nature and locus of sensorimotor control, allowing individual responses to become organized sequences through practice.

Three Principles of
Sensorimotor Function
It is hierarchically organized.
Motor Output is guided by
Sensory Output
Learning can change the nature
and the locus of sensorimotor
control.
The Sensorimotor System is
Hierarchically Organized
The Sensorimotor systems operation
is directed by commands that flows
down through the levels of a hierarchy.


Association
Cortex
(the highest
levels)
Muscles
( the lowest
levels)
Functional Segregation
It is the characteristic of the
sensorimotor system wherein each
level of its hierarchy tends to be
composed of different units, each of
which performs different function.
Motor Output is guided by
Sensory Input

Sensory systems continually monitor
the progress of responses and feed
their information back into
sensorimotor circuits.
This sensory feedback plays an
important role in directing the
continuation of the responses that
produced it.


Learning changes the nature
and the Locus of sensorimotor
control.
During the initial stage of motor
learning, each individual response is
performed under conscious control;
then, after much practice, individual
responses become organized into
continuous integrated sequences of
action that flow smoothly and are
adjusted by sensory feedback without
conscious regulation.
