Process based functionalism instead of structural functionalism is needed
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 September 1997
Abstract
Latash & Anson's intention to describe only the regularities of motor behavior is compromised by the homunculus paradigm. Although we concur on the need to redefine “normal movements” in atypical populations, we contend that this enterprise requires a process based functionalism. We argue for accommodating movement control and perceptual processes with physical and task constraints in a natural setting.
