Functional taxonomy of the human motor behaviour

Abstract

Bibliography about human motor behaviour offers lots of classification proposals about daily and sport skills that have had more or less success as a reference of scientific production. However, from each theoretical model, classification criteria aren’t always enough clear, the possibility to understand the whole complexity about human motor behaviour and, overall, the real utility of the classification in function of two ideas: any typology without behaviours and the categorisation don’t present any doubt during the scientific research. Attending last thoughts, it presents a human motor behaviour taxonomy in basis of naturalist theoretical model in functional psychology, away from biological organocentrism and Cartesian dualism. A taxonomic proposal that uses three clear criteria of classification, in relation with qualitative dimension of the psychological research: the form that differences two functional levels (rigid and changing), propioceptive reactive materiality necessary to understand motor behaviour (postural statically and movement dynamic) and, lastly, adaptative finality to physical or social environments (skills and interactive knowledge)
