Adams' Closed-Loop Concept of Learning and Motor Performance: It's Application in Behavioural Kinesiology and Patients Education in Rehabilitation.

Olaogun, Matthew O. B.

International Journal of Rehabilitation Research, v9 n3 p231-38 1986

J. Adams' application of the closed-loop theory (involving feedback and correction) on human learning and motor performance is described. The theory's applicability to behavioral kinesiology (the science of human movement) is discussed in the context of physical therapy, stressing the importance of knowledge of results as a motivating factor.
