Book Description
"Offers a new approach to the understanding of the development of motor skills in children. It goes beyond the description of the repertoire of motor skills, so common in current literature, to analyse their causes. The book aims to bridge the gap between theoretical and applied interests to provide the teacher, psychologist and the therapist with the framework for the analysis and treatment of perceptual-motor development and dysfunction in children aged five to twelve years. The authors adopt the process-orientated approach to the study of motor behaviour, examining the underlying psychological and physiological processes that are common to many different types of everyday activities. They illustrate how process-orientated analysis leads to an understanding of the factors that determine motor behaviour, and form the basis for individual differences. The need for standardised tests to diagnose motor dysfunction is stressed and the authors critically review those tests currently available. They go on to describe the construction and implementation of their own tests for kinaesthetic sensitivity and perceptual-motor abilities, and show how the training of kinaesthetic perception abilities improves motor control"--Back cover.

The Learning, Memory, and Perception of Perceptual-motor Skills
Author: Robert B. Wilberg
Publisher: North Holland
ISBN:
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 372
Book Description
Three main topics are covered in this book, namely, learning, memory, and perception. The first section consists of seven papers and is devoted entirely to the learning of motor skills. The papers summarize the current state of perceptual- motor learning in general and highlight specific topics of interest to the informed reader. The second section is divided between movement memory and perception. In recent years there has been a decline in the popularity of movement memory as a research topic. However, some recent advances in cognitive science, and parallel distributed processing in particular, may now provide the basis for a renewed interest. The topic of perception never enjoyed the popularity that motor skill learning and/or memory for movement did. However there is now a clearer understanding of the perceptual processes and invariances that affect how we perceive the world. Others, like the renewed interest in signal detection theory and quantal reaction time, serve notice that the perceptual part of perceptual motor-skills is here to stay.

Sensory-Motor Organizations and Development in Infancy and Early Childhood
Author: H. Bloch
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9400920717
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 538
Book Description
This book is the outcome of a Nato Workshop, held in France in July 1989. The workshop was organized to examine current ideas about sensory-motor organizations during human infancy and their development through early childhood. The study of sensory-motor development is experiencing a profound shift in scope, focus, methodology and theoretical foundations. Many of these changes are quite new and not yet well covered in the literature. We thought it would be useful for some of the leading researchers in this field to convene together and to compare notes, and collectively to establish future directions for the field. The reasons for a new conceptualization of sensory-motor development are no doubt numerous, but three are especially significant: 1. One concerns a shift from studying either sensory or motor processing to investigation of the relations between the two. 2. The second is connected to the new emphasis on action, and its implications for goal-directed and intentional behaviour extending over time. 3. Lastly, new theories and methodologies provide access to new tools for studying and conceptualizing the developmental process. 1.-One of the most enduring legacies of the behaviorist perspective has been a focus on the stimulus and the response to the exclusion of the relation between them (Pick, 1989). Historically, this bias translated into a research agenda in which the investigator was concerned with either perceptual or motor competence, but rarely the relation between them.
