  • Abstract
    Of several brain processes that organize behavior, one holds special interest. This process involves the junctional mechanism of cerebral motor and cerebellar cortices and constructs an image-of-achievement by means of a fast-time calculation which extrapolates a projection from the immediately preceding changes in force exerted on muscle receptors. This image-of-achievement by means of a fast-time calculation extrapolates a projection from the immediately preceding changes in force exerted on muscle receptors. The neural control of behavior is achieved largely through an effect on receptor functions. This image-of-achievement encodes environmental contingencies, e.g. forces, not patterns of muscle contraction. The image-of-achievement regulates behavior
