"a set of muscle commands that are structured before a movement sequence begins, and that allow the entire sequence to be carried out uninfluenced by peripheral feedback.' This statement defines a:"________

Motor program is a term that describes the movement that controls and arrange centrally, the various degrees of freedom needed in performance of actions. It is an abstract representation that explains how signals transmitted through pathways; efferent and afferent (nerve ducts that carries impulses to and fro, between brain and the body), which affords or makes the central nervous system to plan and control movement.

Answer: Motor program

Explanation: Keele gave this definition of the motor program in 1968. Motor Program refers to the group of instructions the central nervous system gives the related anatomy required for motor movements and the independence of these movements on sensory feedback such as visual feedback. Works by other scientists such as Kelso determined that movement does require feedback and is limited when this feedback is withdrawn.

However, when we look at the above definition, we will see that Keele does not dismiss the usefulness of sensory feedback totally, he just said movements are possible without the feedback.
