✦ Synopsis

Motor skills development is explained in terms of perceptual organization. As skills develop, Successive Organizations of Perception (SOP) enable the operator to take increasing advantage of the redundancy or predictability of his input signals.

A servomechanism model is presented to describe how the predictability of input signals could be made more apparent to the human operator by the use of appropriate displays. The hypothesis is advanced that this external organization of input signals achieved by displays is a model for the effective SOP achieved as skill is acquired. Experimental evidence to support this SOP model is presented from the literature on manual tracking. Implications for future research are discussed.
