Summary: | The temporal organization or behaviour bas, until recently, been widely ignored as a subject for study. Yet such organization must be present in any series or responses. It is particularly striking in the precise muscular co-ordination found, for example, in the production or speech, or in playing a rapid passage on a musical instrument. This type of behaviour raises the problem or how the timing of the neural activity involved, is accomplished. Although a considerable amount or research has been done on the acquisition of responses, research into the timing or the response sequence itself has been largely neglected.
