The author integrates knowledge from the fields of cognitive psychology and neuroscience in order to provide readers with a more complete understanding of the multilevel processes that contribute to the acquisition and control of movement skills. Each section of the book introduces the most important theoretical models in each particular area, followed by theoretical principles and then illustrated with practical examples drawn from movement, skill, and clinical settings. The breadth of the practical applications will appeal to readers in a variety of professions that require a strong knowledge of motor control and learning principles.
