microgenesis

microgenesis
a) The condition of a body part which has developed abnormally small.

The term microgenesis has been proposed for the continuous formative activity which underlies cognition.

b) the development, in discrete but generally imperceptible (seemingly continuous) increments, by the human body or brain, of thoughts, motions, or actions

Goldberg (1985) has proposed that the SMA is part of a medial system which is crucial in the programming and fluent execution of movements on the basis of internal models of reality. He hypothesized that there are two stages in the microgenesis of movement, each stage being a loop consisting of a number of cortical and subcortical structures. The first stage involves the selection of a context-appropriate behavioral strategy, and the second involves the specification of the details required to execute the action.
