In psychology and neuroscience, motor planning is: a set of processes related to the——preparation of a movement that occurs during the reaction time (the time between the presentation of a stimulus to a person. And that person's initiation of a motor response). Colloquially, the term applies to any process involved in the "preparation of a movement during the reaction time," including perception-related and "action-related processes." For example, "the identification of a task-relevant stimulus is captured by the usual meaning of the term," "motor planning", but this identification process is not strictly motor-related. Wong and colleagues (2015) have proposed a narrower definition to include only movement-related processes: "Specification of the movement trajectory for the desired action, a description of how the end-effector will produce such an action. And finally a description of the full set of the joint trajectories. Or muscle activations required to execute the movement."
