“…However, as Whiting (1980) pointed out, acquiring skill does not only mean to repeat and consolidate but also to invent and to progress, also termed 'repetition without repetition' by Bernstein (1967). When an able-bodied infant is in an enriched environment of parents, siblings and home, each new skill can be practiced with many repetitions and in varied ways ( Fig.…”

“…Third, after achieving success, the task must be made progressively more difficult to challenge the student. Whiting (1980) asserts that "to acquire skill does not mean to repeat and consolidate-but, to invent, to progress . .…”

A new approach to task analysis is presented based upon an ecological theory of perception and current motor development and control theories. The ecological task analysis (ETA) approach stands in sharp contrast to more traditional approaches and offers procedures equally applicable to instruction and assessment of movement performance as well as to applied research. The strengths of the ETA approach lie in (a) its grounding in current motor development and control theories, (b) its linking of the task requirements, environmental conditions, and performer characteristics, (c) its application of a functional and dynamic approach to instruction and assessment, and (d) its integration of instruction and assessment procedures. Following a discussion of the traditional approach and ecological theory, four concepts are presented that emanate from Gibson’s theory of affordances. From these concepts ETA procedures are derived. Applied research questions relating to task analysis are also implied from the ecological approach and are presented in the final section.

“…Some theorists have therefore proposed a more flexible basis for sensorimotor coordination, based on skills adapted to the constraints of the environment and human abilities, rather than simple neural traces (e.g. Lackner, 1981Lackner, , 1985Whiting, 1980). The most recent reformulation of the sensory conflict theory, a 'heuristic mathematical model' developed by Oman (1982), avoids the problem of a lack of invariance between motor commands and their effect.…”

This review examines the role of activity and perceptual learning in motion sickness by means of a survey of the two kinds of recent research relevant to this topic. The first is a body of literature concerned not with motion sickness as such, but with perception of orientation and self-motion under the conditions of 'sensory conflict' which are thought to provoke motion sickness. The second consists of investigations into the prediction and prevention of motion sickness itself. A major weakness is identified in the methodologies employed in both types of research: namely, a neglect of the way in which responses to unusual and disorienting environments, whether nauseogenic or not, may be affected by the activities, skills and strategies of the perceiver. New directions are outlined for future research into immediate reactions and longer-term adaptation to such environments.
