Advances in Motor Learning and Control (book)
Motor behavior experts present the latest research DESCRIPTION Advances in Motor Learning and Control surveys the latest, most important advances in the field, surpassing the confines of debate between proponents of the information processing and dynamical systems. Zelaznik, editor of the Journal of Motor Behavior from 1989 to 1996, brings together a variety of perspectives. Some of the more difficult topicsA<>A~such as behavioral analysis of trajectory formation and the dynamic pattern perspective of rhythmic movementA<>A~are presented in tutorial fashion. Other chapters provide a foundation for understanding increasingly specialized areas of study. AUDIENCE Textbook for graduate courses and seminars in motor learning and control. Reference for motor behavior instructors and researchers, physical therapists, neuroscience researchers, and experimental psychologists interested in human motor control.
