Abstract

A theory and model of motor skills learning postulate a statistical decision process for the human operator controlling a dynamic system.The selection of response alternatives and the revision of preferences for them are functions of a decision center in the human mind. This decision center is one component of a hypothetic single-channel information system. Also included in this information processing system are a sensor, which perceives the information upon which the decision center acts, and an effector, which executes the response decisions made by the center.The model of human learning behavior is a digital computer program which is obtained from a translation of the theory into machine language. Behavior of this model is compared with subject behavior in a controlled series of motor skill experiments. The extent of the model's characterization of the time-varying random nature of human learning is brought out by this comparison.
