Abstract

Skills for tool use, including driving, are supported by two visuomotor abilities; the ability to model the relationship between an action and its consequences before execution (internal modeling ability), and the ability to plan a trajectory linking a specific point of an effector to that of a target (effector navigation ability). Ninety-nine young and ninety-eight older adults participated in two visuomotor tracking tasks for measuring these abilities. Based on task performance, participants were divided into two x two cells to assess types of clumsiness: Efficient internal model and deficient internal model crossed orthogonally with good and poor effector navigation. Functional differences between these four types of clumsiness are discussed.
