Central Control/Motor Program Theory proposes what about movement?

• A. Movements Are Purely Reflexive
• B. In the Brain There Is a Representation of Every Movement We Perform
• C. There Is No Mental Representation of Movement
• D. Movements Are Created Randomly by Practice

Answer: (B)

Central Control/Motor Program Theory says the brain stores representations of movements as motor programs that can be retrieved to produce action. When you decide to move, a central command activates a program that specifies the sequence and timing of muscle activations; the actual execution can be refined by sensory feedback, with parameters like speed and force adjusted as needed. This explains how complex, coordinated actions are produced quickly and consistently and how variations of a movement can be generated by changing those parameters. Movements aren’t simply reflexive, nor are they created randomly by practice, and there is a mental representation guiding action—matching the idea that the brain holds representations of the movements we perform.
