Abstract in brief
- The text discusses how expert skillful actions often appear automatic and seamless, but contemporary models like Optimal Motor Control Theory (OMCT) tend to view these actions as being driven by explicit instructions or motor commands stored in the brain.
- It critiques these instruction-based models, highlighting limitations and questioning whether control-theoretic assumptions (like executing pre-defined instructions) are justified, especially given new insights from theories like predictive coding and active inference.
- The paper explores alternative frameworks that move away from traditional control models, suggesting that emerging approaches offer a better understanding of how skillful performance happens in the brain without relying solely on explicit instructions.]
