“SPEED OF MOVEMENT RESPONSE AND PROBABILISTIC PROGNOSIS” BY I.M. FEIGENBERG – TRANSLATOR’S REMARKS<br />
Journal Title: Antropomotoryka. Journal of Kinesiology and Exercise Sciences - Year 2007, Vol 17, Issue 40
Abstract
The main issue of the paper “Speed of movement response and probabilistic prognosis” - being a résumé of twenty years long research of I.M. Feigenberg and his scientific team - is the role of probabilistic prognosis in construction of sensorimotor performance in humans. The presented researches and analyses show development of the “model of desired future”, being an important element of physiology of activity, created by N.A. Bernstein. I.M. Feigenberg applies a behavioural methodology, draws cognitive conclusions and eventually states that in analyses of human behaviour (also sensorimotor) it is necessary to take into account also emotions and to apply the modern heuristic methodology. The paper by I.M. Feigenberg remains in accordance with the rules of contemporary systems theory. Its results justify also the assumption about simultaneous using - during execution of a sensorimotor performance by a human – at least two classes of codes of information processing: notional and non-notional (sensory) ones. The paper evokes some doubts concerning the notions of “subliminal stimulus”, “subconsciousness”, “nonassociative learning” and “self-organization”. The author emphasizes the importance of probabilistic prognosis and preliminary preparation; as the basis of the latter could be assumed the process of priming. He shows also the importance of three kinds of specificity: specificity of perception, specificity of information processing and specificity of execution. Eventually, the results of the researches point to importance of emotions in reasonable information processing in humans. It has to be noted that the bases of the paper are theories by Bernstein and classical, Bayesian theory of probability. Their skilled application leads to original, important conclusions, what testifies to great need of theoretical analyses in contemporary kinesiology.
