In order to evaluate changes and relationships in perceptual process during motor learning and motor performance over training, Bayani et al examine eye movements and motor skill in a paleolithic stone toolmaking task. They demonstrate the importance of understanding the emergence and evolution of perceptual-motor coupling not only in complex motor skill learning.
