Motor Learning and Development, Second Edition With Web Resource,
provides a foundation for understanding how humans acquire and
continue to hone their movement skills throughout the life span.
These fundamentals will give students the tools they need to
create, apply, and evaluate motor skill programs for learners and
clients at all skill and development levels, from elite athletes to
those with severe disabilities. The second edition maintains the
unique focus of the original, covering the basics of motor learning
and development simultaneously. The text has been revised and
updated with current research and examples, and it includes the
following enhancements: * Three new chapters, Understanding
Movement Control, Infant Motor Development, and Devising a Plan,
provide more depth on fundamental topics. * A web resource for
students includes videos with guiding questions, lab activities for
each chapter, and printable versions of the book's sidebars for use
as assignments. * Reorganized content in part I allows for deeper
understanding of complex topics. * Parts II and III are reorganized
to group content by topic rather than by age group, in order to
better infuse the two fields of motor learning and motor
development. * Updated What Do You Think? and Try This sidebars
engage students in applying concepts, and sample answers in the
instructor guide help provide feedback on those applications. Motor
Learning and Development, Second Edition, combines these two
subdisciplines of motor behavior in an accessible and
easy-to-follow manner. Part I provides an outline of the
fundamental concepts of both motor learning and motor development.
Part II explores movement patterns across the life span, from
infancy to older adulthood, with a new chapter focusing on infant
motor development. Part III examines the changing individual
constraints throughout the life span, including physiological,
psychological, and sociocultural factors and changes related to
age. Finally, part IV prepares students to create and implement
developmentally appropriate movement programs, closing with a new
chapter, Devising a Plan. Learning aids throughout the book include
chapter objectives, glossary terms, and supplemental activities to
emphasize the evolution from research to practice. Revised opening
vignettes in each chapter demonstrate the breadth of professions
that utilize knowledge of and research in motor behavior. The
significantly upgraded instructor ancillaries-an instructor guide,
test package, and presentation package-are free to course adopters.
Motor Learning and Development provides students with the
fundamental understanding of movement skills that they need in
order to develop, implement, and critically assess motor skill
programs.
