Abstract

A basic strategy in attempting to reach some understanding of the brain and its relation to behavior has been to simplify this forbiddingly complicated task by subdividing brain processes into functional subsystems that can then be studied more or less in isolation. The fruitfulness of this strategy obviously depends in part on an appropriate selection of meaningful subsystems to study, and over the years, various adjustments in this partitioning have been made. One of the most enduring divisions has been that between sensory/perceptual and motorIresponse systems.
