Abstract

The movement theory of control (MTC) predicts that the closest argument is the controller: that is, the MTC cannot be maintained unless the Minimal Distance Principle (MDP) is correct. Accordingly, one of the most important issues in control is whether the MDP is empirically supported. Control shift is a well-known phenomenon that appears to run counter to the MDP. This paper provides supporting evidence in favor of the MDP, showing that control shift follows from the independently motivated principles--the Binarity Principle and the Principle of Co-arguments.
