Abstract

Eshkol-Wachman (EW) movemept notation analysis consists of a stage in which the relevant movement variables are isolated by experts and a stage in which they can be readily used by anyone not skilled in EW. Because everything else that happens is constrained by these variables, once they are pointed out they can easily be discerned and scored. They constitute the skeleton of behavior; therefore, like real bones, they can be used to construct a taxonomy of behaviors.
