The intent of this book is to describe those perceptual and
cognitive components which contribute to skilled motor performance
in a wide variety of disciplines, including sports, microsurgery,
video games, and speech. Also considered are issues in the
measurement of motor skill, the development of motor skill across
the life span, and the importance of individual differences in the
development of motor skill. Many chapters contain studies employing
the expertise approach used so successfully to study cognitive
skills in psychology. Using this approach, expert performers are
compared to novices on domain relevant laboratory tasks in order to
determine whether specific cognitive or perceptual processes are
related to performance differences.
This volume will be of value to kinesiologists, sport
psychologists, physical educators, and cognitive psychologists who
are interested in a new perspective on the nature of motor skills.
The majority of the chapters include reviews of the literature
necessary to understand the case being made. Thus, the book may be
understood by any reader with a basic course in psychology or motor
behavior.
