The cerebellum has been hypothesized to play a role in a
variety of movement timing tasks that involve the processing of
temporal information on a variety of timescales. Braitenberg, Heck
& Sultan propose a new theory of cerebellar function that is able
to account for movement timing on the order of a couple of hundred
milliseconds. However, this theory does not account for the rôle the
cerebellum plays in the acquisition and retention of adaptively timed
discrete movements that are on the order of 200 to 1000 milliseconds,
and therefore does not account for the entire temporal range of
cerebellar dependent processing.
