In Shapiro and others' experiment on relative timing patterns in walking and running,a motor program-based theory of motor control would conclude that:
A) A motor program type of control mechanism does not control walking or running
B) Both walking and running are controlled by the same GMP
C) Each of the various speeds of walking and running is controlled by its own GMP
D) One GMP controls walking and a different GMP controls running

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to a motor program-based theory of motor control, each unique movement (such as walking or running at different speeds) is controlled by a separate motor program, or GMP. Therefore, it would be expected that one GMP controls walking and another GMP controls running, as they are distinct movements with different timing patterns.
