On achieving strong inference in prehension research

Smeets and Brenner have suggested that it may be time to abandon Jeannerod's "classical approach" to studying human prehension, and have presented a mathematical model as an alternative. We argue that this model provides insufficient grounds for widespread acceptance, and questions wh...

Description
Summary:Smeets and Brenner have suggested that it may be time to abandon Jeannerod's "classical approach" to studying human prehension, and have presented a mathematical model as an alternative. We argue that this model provides insufficient grounds for widespread acceptance, and questions whether or not such an approach furthers the science of motor control.
