Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Motor Control Research
  • Kinesiology

Background:

  • Rudolf Laban's choreutic conception of kinesthetic-motor space.
  • Existing models in spatial cognition and motor control research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide psychological validation for Laban's choreutic conception.
  • To compare choreutic principles with spatial cognition and motor control models.
  • To explore potential applications in cognitive science movement studies.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative analysis of conceptual models.
  • Distinguishing highly differentiated systems of reference.
  • Representing spatial paths as polygonal trajectories and kinespheres as polyhedral networks.

Main Results:

  • Psychological validation of choreutic kinesthetic-motor space.
  • Identification of similarities between choreutic principles and trajectory formation models.
  • Analogy drawn between choreutic topological forms and Bernstein's motor field net.

Conclusions:

  • Choreutic laws offer valuable conceptual models and analytical tools for cognitive science.
  • Further review of choreutic principles can advance movement study.
  • The study bridges Laban's theories with modern cognitive and motor science.
