The Application of Two-Point Touch Cane Technique to Theories of Motor Control and Learning Implications for Orientation and Mobility Training

Abstract

Basic behavioral processes involved in motor control based on theories of motor control and learning are outlined using the teaching of two-point touch cane technique as an application of the theories. The authors believe that the keys to successful mobility training are repetition and correctly performed practice of each skill and sufficient learning time to facilitate overlearning and subsequent skill retention.
