During the past two decades, there has been a dramatic increasein interest in the study of motor control and learning. In thisvolume authors from a variety of backgrounds and theoreticalperspectives review their research with particular emphasis onthe methods and paradigms employed, and the future direction oftheir work. The book is divided into four main sections. Thefirst section contains chapters examining general issues andtrends in the movement behaviour field. The remaining threesections contain chapters from scientists working in threebroadly defined areas of interest: coordination and control;visuo-motor processes; and movement disorders. Each sectionprovides an overview of the different approaches and differentlevels of analysis being used to examine specific topics withinthe motor domain.
Part I: Motor Behaviour Research: General Issues and
Trends. The Rise and Fall of Dominant Paradigms in Motor
Behaviour Research (B. Abernethy, W.A. Sparrow). Motor Control
and Learning: How Far do the Experimental Tasks Restrict our
Theoretical Insight? (J.I. Laszlo). Human Skill and Motor
Control: Some Aspects of the Motor Control-Motor Learning
Relation (H.T.A. Whiting, S. Vogt, B. Vereijken). Handwriting
as a Motor Task: Experimentation, Modelling, and Simulation
(A.J.W.M. Thomassen, G.P. van Galen). Part II: Coordination
and Control. Measuring Changes in Coordination and Control
(W.A. Sparrow). Children's Motor Rhythm and Timing: A Dynamical
Approach (H. Parker). Multi-Sensory Control of Coordinated
Movement (P. Haggard). Control of Rapid Arm Movement (L.R.T.
Williams). Part III: Visuo-Motor Processes. Visuomotor
Control in Goal-Directed Movements (G.K. Kerr). The Processing
of Visual Feedback in Rapid Movements: Revisited (D. Glencross,
N. Barrett). The Control of Catching (G.J.P. Savelsbergh, H.T.A.
Whiting, J.R. Pijpers). Visual Information for the Timing of
Skilled Movements: A Review (B. Abernethy, R. Burgess-Limerick).
Part IV: Movement Disorders. Neuromotor Control and Down
Syndrome (J.G. Anson). The Movement Approach: A Window to
Understanding the Clumsy Child (D. Larkin, D. Hoare). Motor
Control Considerations for Assessment and Rehabilitation of
Movement Disorders (J.L. Charlton). The Contribution of Movement
Disorders Research to Theories of Motor Control and Learning
(J.G. Phillips, G.E. Stelmach). Adaptive Model Theory:
Application to Disorders of Motor Control (P.D. Neilson, M.D.
Neilson, N.J. O'Dwyer). Part V: Epilogue. Movement
Behaviour: A Field in Crisis? (J.J. Summers). Subject Index.
