Theories of Movement

Theories of movement explore how and why objects and organisms change position. Some suggest movement is driven by forces like gravity or muscle action, such as pushing or pulling. Others, like the ecological approach, emphasize environmental cues guiding movement. Mechanical theories focus on forces and momentum, explaining how bodies generate and control motion. Cognitive theories consider how perceptions and intentions influence movement choices. Overall, these theories help us understand the complex interplay between physical forces, sensory information, and behavior that results in movement.
