Self-select paradigm separately assesses latencies associated for INT and SEQ processes. A trial begins with the “ready” signal being presented. Shortly after, the individual is provided a precue revealing the sequence that should be readied. Study time (ST) is defined as the interval between the presentation of a precue informing the participant of the nature of the upcoming responses and the participant pressing the “End” key. This interval is assumed to capture the temporal demands of the INT motor programming process. Following the depression of the “END” key a variable fore-period occurs prior to the presentation of the “GO” signal. RT is defined as the interval between the presentation of the “GO” signal and the depression of the appropriate response key. The RT interval is assumed to capture the temporal demands of the motor programming process labeled SEQ. Figure 1.

Reconstruction: What is it? • Programming as retrieval in sense of reconstruction RT may depend on the time required to retrieve programs from long-term memory (LTM)……. Retrieval time may increase as a function of the complexity of the response because of differences in the time required to reconstruct a response representation from a code in LTM. Klapp, 1996, p.14
Klapp’s (1995; 1996) two-process model of motor programming process • INT process focuses on the internal features of an element or chunk of movement and the time to resolve this component process depends on the complexity of the chunk (e.g., duration of response) • SEQ process focuses on sequencing multiple chunks into the correct order. This component process is determined by the number of chunks SRT-CRT
Klapp’s (1995; 1996) two-process model of motor programming process Important assumptions • Pre-programming of INT is possible • Pre-programming of SEQ is not possible • INT and SEQ can occur in parallel • INT takes longer to complete than SEQ

ST is expected to be greater for longer duration response in random practice Immink & Wright, JEP:HPP, 27, 423-437
RT should not differ between short and long duration responses for both practice conditions
Random practice should exhibit superior performance during retention but poorer performance during acquisition
RT should be greater for the multiple-element response in the case of both practice conditions
ST should be greater for the multiple-element response but only in the case of random practice
ST is expected to be greater for the longer duration response in random practice
RT should not differ between short and long duration responses for both practice conditions

Note: 1S = dit, 1L = dah, 4S = dit-dah-dah-dit, 4L = dah-dit-dit-dah
Summary • High CI: • Involves greater engagement of motor programming during practice resulting in: • equal if not superior execution of sequential tasks (cf. low CI) with lower cost (INT component). • consolidation of multiple element sequences which presumably contributes to the efficiency of producing these sequences
What’s next ? • Why stop at response programming? • Perceptual processes • Indirect evidence (Fendrich, Healy, & Bourne, 1991) • Response selection/translation • Indirect evidence (Pashler & Baylis 1991 a & b; Verway, 1999) • Direct evidence (Barbariche, Blandin, & Audiffren, submitted)
What’s next? • Sequential movements and Parkinson’s disease (PD) • INT but not SEQ process should be intact? (Marsden, 1982) • Switching/transitions between elements in PD is disrupted • Utility of particular practice regimes for individuals with PD
