TL;DR: In the psychologie contemporaine, a condition necessaire a la revolution dans la formation conceptuelle de la physique que la destruction de la separation “anthropomorphique” des spheres celeste et terrestre is described in this paper.
Abstract: Resume Les conflits de la psychologie contemporaine montrent dans leur structure conceptuelle un rapport etroit avec la transition de la maniere de penser Aristotelicienne-medievale a la maniere de penser de la physique post-Galilenne moderne. Il est on ne peut plus important pour les problemes urgents de la psychologie qu'on rend clair ce parallele. C'etait une condition necessaire a la revolution dans la formation conceptuelle de la physique que la destruction de la separation “anthropomorphique” des spheres celeste et terrestre. Dans la psychologie c'est la destruction du mur entre le normal et l'anormal, l'homme et l'animal, l'enfant et l'adulte. Cette reduction a l'homogeneite n'est pas un nivellement des differences individuelles. L'emploi des aides mathematiques par la physique Galileenne ne signifie pas une tendance a l'abstrait, mais precisement une lutte contre l'abstraction soustractive Aristotelicenne des differences individuelles. Pour la physique Aristotelicienne, le cas individuel etait for...

TL;DR: This article examined the cognitive architecture of complex movements, how it is organized over several levels and is built on specific building blocks, which are called Basic Action Concepts (BACs) for mastering the functional demands of movement tasks.
Abstract: This article examines the cognitive architecture of complex movements, how it is organized over several levels and is built on specific building blocks. Basic Action Concepts (BACs) are identified as the major building blocks on the level of mental representations. These BACs are cognitive tools for mastering the functional demands of movement tasks. New experimental methods are introduced and applied in studies addressing the functional link between representation structures and human performance. Results from two different lines of research showed that not only is the structure formation of mental representations in long‐term memory built upon BACs, but so is chunk formation in working memory and systematically relates systematically to movement structures. Further lines of experimental research in various fields of sport showed that cognitive subsystems work together functionally with different levels of movement architecture in order to solve movement tasks. These results support the hypothes...

TL;DR: SDT and PSI theory offer complementary insights into developing a person's full potential, and how the theories bear on recent empirical research on internalization, vitality, and achievement flow is reviewed.
Abstract: One of the enduring missions of personality science is to unravel what it takes to become a fully functioning person. In the present article, the authors address this matter from the perspectives of self-determination theory (SDT) and personality systems interactions (PSI) theory. SDT (a) is rooted in humanistic psychology; (b) has emphasized a first-person perspective on motivation and personality; (c) posits that the person, supported by the social environment, naturally moves toward growth through the satisfaction of basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness. PSI theory (a) is rooted in German volition psychology; (b) has emphasized a third-person perspective on motivation and personality; and (c) posits that a fully functioning person can form and enact difficult intentions and integrate new experiences, and that such competencies are facilitated by affect regulation. The authors review empirical support for SDT and PSI theory, their convergences and divergences, and how the theories bear on recent empirical research on internalization, vitality, and achievement flow. The authors conclude that SDT and PSI theory offer complementary insights into developing a person's full potential.
