Journal of Motor Learning and Development (JMLD) aims to advance the understanding of movement skill acquisition and change across the life span. It provides a platform for innovative research related to factors that influence the learning or relearning of skills in individuals with various movement-related abilities and disabilities. JMLD also features high-quality studies that offer insight into training or therapeutic interventions that promote motor proficiency, or reduce deficits and decline, in any age group. Research that crosses traditional divides between physical, cognitive, and social domains in motor learning and development is especially encouraged.
JMLD publishes original articles, including reviews and studies using experimental and nonexperimental designs, as well as psychological, neuroscientific, physiological, and biomechanical analyses that consider the various dimensions of movement learning and development. Special consideration is given to research using methods appropriate for applied research, such as field studies, observational analysis, and qualitative data.
JMLD is available in an online format, allowing subscribers many advantages such as the ability to search entire issues in seconds and access to all back issues. Subscribers can sign up to receive the table of contents of each issue by e-mail when a new issue has been published.
