KembaraXtra-Psychology – Ballistic Movement
A ballistic movement is a rapid motor action that, once initiated, proceeds to completion without the possibility of online correction or adjustment. Such movements are typically preprogrammed rather than guided by continuous sensory feedback and are therefore governed by open-loop control mechanisms. Common examples include saccadic eye movements and quick reaching or throwing actions. Ballistic movements are thought to be organized primarily by the cerebellum and associated motor structures, reflecting the nervous system’s capacity to generate fast, efficient actions at the cost of flexibility during execution.
