Probabilistic prognosis in information processing in humans
Journal Title: Antropomotoryka. Journal of Kinesiology and Exercise Sciences - Year 2009, Vol 19, Issue 47
Abstract
The basis of presented paper is the N.A. Bernstein’s theory of movements’ construction. However, Bernstein himself focused his attention mainly on neurophysiological and biomechanical factors, and here the authors strive to highlight the psychological factors viewed from the contemporary systems theory perspective. Such an approach enables determining the role of emotional factors in control of human behaviour, and – following the Bernstein’s way of thinking – more precise description of emotional factors at different levels of motor control: arousal, feeling, emotion and attitude. Then the authors attempted more precisely define the terms “instinct”, “intelligence” and “intuition”, which describe three basic mechanisms of information processing in living beings. The confrontation of the term “intelligence” with the theory of probabilistic prognosis, developed by I.M. Feigenberg, enables construction of a hypothesis explaining the relation between “fluid intelligence” and “crystallized intelligence” as defined by R. Cattell and finding a “common denominator” for these both terms.
