Abstract
The mechanism underlying the process of coordination of tracking movements of humans in the virtual space of an executive action with a change in the semantic organization of a motor task was investigated. The specific features of the distribution of the components of the velocity vector of tracking movements in the “target” (related to the aim of the motor task) system of coordinates allow the results of a compromise of the joint functioning of parallel motor programs to be interpreted from the point of view of their coordinated adaptation to the geometry of the outer space and the specifics of the task solved.
