Perception, Cognition, and Decision Training

The decision-training model has three steps and includes seven cognitive skills, seven cognitive triggers, and seven decision-training tools.

Attention and Motor Skill Learning

Some scientists believe that it is important not to think about the movement while executing it.

Vision and Goal-Directed Movement

In the last few decades, a modest number of empirical investigations have been designed to identify factors influencing the use of visual information as a function of practice.

Vision and Goal-Directed Movement

One of the classic controversies in motor control is the extent to which discrete goal-directed movements unfold as planned or are modified based on response-produced feedback or changing environmental demands.

Fundamentals of Motor Behavior eBook

When providing augmented feedback, whether it is about an outcome or technique, it is a good idea to keep in mind five “rules of thumb.”

The Athlete's Clock eBook

In athletes, stride rhythm is often coupled with breathing while running, walking, cycling, or rowing. This is called entrainment of ventilation and locomotion.

Biomechanics of Skeletal Muscles

The “intrasarcomere” mechanisms, such as the actin–myosin interaction, are mentioned only in passing. It is assumed that the readers are familiar with these mechanisms from courses in muscle physiology.

Advanced Analysis of Motor Development eBook

Here we focus on the development of striking, throwing, and kicking. Most developmental studies on ballistic projectile skills have been based in developmental sequence theory, although a few studies are beginning to address issues from a dynamic systems perspective.

Advanced Analysis of Motor Development eBook

If early developing motor differences exist, then assessment of these deficits may aid in identifying children at risk for ASD at a younger age than is currently possible.

Advanced Analysis of Motor Development eBook

Perhaps the best way to appreciate how the characteristics of dynamic systems can be used to model motor development is to see how a research team used dynamic systems to address a particular developmental issue.

Explanation of the three-step decision training model

The decision-training model has three steps and includes seven cognitive skills, seven cognitive triggers, and seven decision-training tools.

Feedback plays many roles in movement production and control

Learn more about various functions of feedback in movement control, such as how we can conceptualize these functions as acting before a movement, during a movement, and after a movement.

How are constant error, variable error, and absolute error useful for understanding motor control?
