THE PRACTICALITY OF USING THE ESHKOL-WACHMAN MOVEMENT NOTATION IN BEHAVIORAL PHARMACOLOGY AND KINESICS - AUTHORS RESPONSE

Eshkol-Wachman (EW) movement notation analysis consists of a stage in which the relevant movement variables are isolated by experts and a st age in which they can be readily used by anyone not skilled in EW. Bec ause everything else that happens is constrained by these variables, o nce they are pointed out they can easily be discerned and scored. They constitute the skeleton of behaviour; therefore, like real bones, the y can be used to construct a taxonomy of behaviors.
