PROCESS-BASED FUNCTIONALISM INSTEAD OF STRUCTURAL FUNCTIONALISM IS NEEDED

Latash & Anson's intention to describe only the regularities of motor behavior is compromised by the homunculus paradigm. Although we concur on the need to redefine ''normal movements'' in atypical populations, we contend that this enterprise requires a process based functionalis m. We argue for accommodating movement control and perceptual processe s with physical and task constraints in a natural setting.
