{"pk":32352,"title":"Modeling planning and reaching","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Recently developed models of reaching have been based on the general principle that an actor first specifies a task goal, then plans a goal posture that can achieve the task, and then specifies a movement to that goal posture. Selection of a particular goal posture is based on the degree to which movement from the starting posture to possible candidate goal postures best satisfies a number of constraints, including biomechanical efficiency and the avoidance of obstacles. We describe methods used to simulate and test this model.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Long Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7pm120v0","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Jonathan","middle_name":"","last_name":"Vaughan","name_suffix":"","institution":"Institut fur Psychologie, Universitat Potsdam","department":""},{"first_name":"David","middle_name":"A.","last_name":"Rosenbaum","name_suffix":"","institution":"Institut fur Psychologie, Universitat Potsdam","department":""},{"first_name":"Carolyn","middle_name":"J.","last_name":"Harp","name_suffix":"","institution":"Institut fur Psychologie, Universitat Potsdam","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1997-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/32352/galley/23417/download/"}]}
