The evolutionary thread leading to increasingly more sophisticated types of movement is examined. The entire thread is seen in humans and includes: collision avoidance, landmark navigation, moving to attain good expectations or avoid bad expectations, and moving to actualize an imagined world state. These behaviors compete for the same sensory and motor resources; each requiring greater perceptual discrimination, more complex internal models of the world, and a longer time frame than the previous behavior. By finding the brain structures supporting these complex movement tasks and how tasks compete for resources, researchers will facilitate both our understanding of the brain and our ability to create artificial minds that we understand intuitively.
