Landscapes Beyond the HKB Model

  • Chapter
Coordination: Neural, Behavioral and Social Dynamics

Part of the book series: Understanding Complex Systems ((UCS))

Abstract

The change in behavior over time that reflects human motor learning and development has long been thought of as a consequence of the evolving cycle of system stability and instability [16, 17, 37]. Over the last 25 years or so, the dynamics of this pathway of change in behavior has been modeled using the physical construct of potential wells that has been used so regularly in physics and the study of systems for which its’ potential energy can be represented as a multi-dimensional landscape. In the study of both biology and behavior many approaches have followed the initial schematic of Waddington [39] in developing a landscape for change in behavior over time.
