Abstract

Latash & Anson propose that so-called abnormal movements may be stable and adaptive coordination and control solutions to task goals in action. Their interpretation of this established viewpoint is confused throughout in the persistent crossing of frames of reference, both in the description of movement and action and the proposed theory for motor control.
