In this thread, https://www.researchgate.net/post/Is_there_any_paper_earlier_than_Brooks_A_Robust_Layered_Control_System_For_A_Mobile_Robot_1986_about_the_sense-plan-act_paradigm_from_robotics

there is an interesting comment,

"The first consolidated theory involving feedback in both learning and control was later provided in 1971 by Adams in his paper "A closed-loop theory of motor learning" (Journal of Motor Behavior , 3 (2), 111�149)."

and also,

"Based on engineering principles and consistent with pre-existing knowledge on the role of feedback in learning and performance (e.g., Adams, 1968), the theory proposed that movement was controlled by continuous comparison between afferent information and a set of “sensory consequences�? stored in memory from previous successful movements "

Does anyone have access to this Adams paper, I can't find it online? (Did find this http://grants.hhp.coe.uh.edu/clayne/HistoryofMC/Adams.pdf)

Is Adam's and his work familiar to anyone?

If anyone wants respond in this thread feel free.

Regards,
Rupert

Clearly an incorrect statement though given Powers et al 1960

The Adams paper is paywalled at http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00222895.1971.10734898, but it can be downloaded from sci-hub.io. The paper's DOI is 10.1080/00222895.1971.10734898. Enter that in the search box at Scihub. The download page is in Russian, but what the buttons do is clear enough. In case of doubt, use Google Translate :).

Thanks, Richard; got it. A Google search also turned up the following
related paper:
