This book contains a number of chapters on the control and
execution of skilled movements, as well as more general chapters on
theoretical issues in skilled performance. The contributors have
summarised their most recent research, and general themes and
issues are presented in discussion chapters at the end of each
section, thus providing a good general summary of the kind of
research and theoretical frameworks developing in this area. The
first section is concerned with the theoretical issues of
programming and co-ordination. Issues raised in the second section
are basic to much of the research reviewed in the volume. This
section summarises the various theoretical positions in the recent
debates on the role of cognitive processes in motor control and the
usefulness of the ``psychomotor'' approach, and contains chapters
based on individual papers which present relevant empirical
findings. The third section deals with the learning and performance
of skilled movements, containing papers with practical implications
for everyday skills. The final section contains chapters on
cognitive processes in skilled performance.
