Bernstein believes that it is this interaction between the periphery and the centre
that allows the coordination of expressive movement to occur. Commenting on
the use of practice to solve motor skill problems, Bernstein states that the
solution is not in the repetition, but in the perfection of techniques required to
improve:
… Even in the case of such uniformly repetitive acts the variability in the motor picture
and in the range of initial conditions may at first be very great, and a more or less fixed
program develops depending on the extent to which a motion is practised, and by no
means at the first attempt. The process of practice continues towards the achievement of
new motor habits essentially consists in the gradual success of a search for optimal
motor solutions to the appropriate problems. Because of this, practice, when properly
undertaken, does not consist in repeating the means of solution of a motor problem time
after time, but in the process of solving this problem again and again by techniques
which we changed and perfected from repetition to repetition (Bernstein 1967:134).
