ABSTRACT:
A long-standing, still dominant, tradition holds that voluntary movements are basically organized in the motor system, according to principles which are specifically “motoric”, in clear separation to processes in a perceptual representational medium such as anticipating and perceiving one’s own movements. From the motoric point of view, there is no place for any functional role of Gestalt factors. I will argue against this traditional view. I hypothesize that human voluntary movements are functionally organized and coordinated solely by way of perceptual representations, so-called “event files”, without the need for a second, motoric, representation. If so, Gestalt factors might be of basic importance in imagination and perception, as well as for the control strategies used to actually perform voluntary movements.
