Abstract
This chapter synthesizes the extant data on the acquisition of coordination and outlines an approach to examining the exploratory behavior individuals use in mastering the redundant biomechanical degrees of freedom during acquisition of the “form” of movement coordination patterns. A particular focus is the search strategies used to explore and locate stable equilibrium regions in the perceptual-motor work space and the way these strategies relate to the emergent movement form. It is proposed that only a small set of acquisition characteristics may emerge from the search strategies used and that only a small set of search strategies (such as blind, local, and nonlocal) will be identified within and between the equilibrium regions of the work space. Our efforts are oriented toward a theory of skill acquisition that is driven by the learning of the dynamical laws guiding exploratory behavior in the acquisition of skill.
