[Analysis of regularities of rhythmic sensomotor activities using a Rhythmotest device]. / Analiz zakonomernostei ritmicheskoi sensomotornoi deiatel'nosti s pomoshch'iu pribora "Ritmotest".

The paper is concerned with a study into the mechanisms of rhythmic sensorimotor activity (RSMA) using a "Ritmotest" device. The authors demonstrate potentialities of the device in determining the grade of automation of RSMA skill, which is presented as a process of the control conversion from the external feedback to the internal one. The conversion in question is realized with an output of a sensory standard at a given time interval. The "Ritmotest" may also specify the individual characteristics of the sensory standard formation.
