Why should anyone be interested in studying motor skills? This book is based on the contrary belief that the determinants of motor skill and the conjoint problems of how movements are coordinated and controlled are fundamentally important to anyone concerned with understanding human behavior. This includes psychologists, but applies even more especially to other disciplines-such as physical education and kinesiology-for which the subject of movement is particularly germane. In fact, this book is written primarily for undergraduates in kinesiology and physical education as well as psychology, and it may also be of interest to students in areas such as physical therapy, engineering and computer science.
First Published in 1982. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.
"...the book's strengths include a strong emphasis on theory and many examples of the necessity for creative methodology to solve problems related to understanding movement coordination."—Physical & Occupational Therapy in Pediatrics
