Motor Learning and Performance: From Principles to Application,
Sixth Edition With Web Study Guide, enables students to appreciate
high-level skilled activity and understand how such incredible
performances occur. Written in a style that is accessible even to
students with little or no knowledge of physiology, psychology,
statistical methods, or other basic sciences, this text constructs
a conceptual model of factors that influence motor performance,
outlines how motor skills are acquired and retained with practice,
and shows students how to apply the concepts to a variety of
real-world settings. The sixth edition of Motor Learning and
Performance has been carefully revised to incorporate the most
important research findings in the field, and it is supplemented
with practice situations to facilitate a stronger link between
research-based principles and practical applications. Other
highlights include the following: A web study guide offers updated
principles-to-application exercises and additional interactive
activities for each chapter, ensuring that students will be able to
transfer core content from the book to various applied settings.
Extensive updates and new material related to the performance of
complex movements expand the theoretical focus to a more in-depth
analysis of dynamical systems and the constraints-led approach to
learning. Narratives from Motor Control in Everyday Actions that
appear in the web study guide tie each book chapter to concrete
examples of how motor behavior is applicable to real life. Photo
caption activities pose questions to students to encourage critical
thinking, and answers to those questions are provided to
instructors in the instructor guide. As the text investigates the
principles of human performance, pedagogical aids such as learning
objectives, key terms, and Check Your Understanding questions help
students stay on track with learning in each chapter. Focus on
Research and Focus on Application sidebars deliver more detailed
research information and make connections to real-world
applications in areas such as teaching, coaching, and therapy. The
sixth edition of Motor Learning and Performance: From Principles to
Application goes beyond simply presenting research—it challenges
students to grasp the fundamental concepts of motor performance and
learning and then go a step further by applying the concepts.
Incorporating familiar scenarios brings the material to life for
students, leading to better retention and greater interest in
practical application of motor performance and learning in their
everyday lives and future careers.
