Description: Presents theories of infant motor development and discusses the unique challenges involved in the assessment of the motor skills of developing infants as compared to that of adults. Provides step-by-step instruction for using the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS)--a new scale that measures infant motor development. Features a review of the major theories of motor development, line drawings and photographs of each movement skill, and a percentile graph enabling the user to plot and infant's score and derive a visual estimate of his/her percentile ranking.

Description: The Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) is the first evaluative measure of motor function designed for quantifying change in the gross motor abilities of children with cerebral palsy. The new version (GMFM-66) of this widely used and now standard outcome assessment tool is completely revised, largely new, and has been improved through Rasch analysis. GMFM-66 transforms the standard GMFM into an interval measure; provides an 'item map' of the relative difficulty among items; and includes a user-friendly, computer-assisted software program to aid in scoring and interpretation of GMFM data. This is included, with a printed scoresheet, on a CD-ROM enclosed in the book.

Description: Motor Control and Learning: A Behavioral Emphasis has proved itself to be a major text in the field. Now it has been completely revised, updated, and expanded in light of new concepts in motor behavior by two of the leading researchers in the field. New features include the addition of • more than 450 references to research published since the second edition; • completely updated artwork, including 42 new figures; • new, practical examples from areas such as human factors, sport, physical therapy, and music; and • a chapter on coordination research objectively presented from two different theoretical perspectives: motor programming and dynamic pattern theories. The text’s 14 chapters are organized into 3 parts.
Part I, “Introduction to Motor Behavior,” introduces the fields of motor control and learning, including a brief history, the tools of motor behavior research, the information-processing approach, and the role of attention. Part II, “Motor Control,” considers various modes of control of the human motor system and presents findings on the laws of simple movements and on how multiple degrees of freedom are coordinated. Part III, “Motor Learning,” addresses the learning of skills as a result of practice or experience. The focus shifts to the changes in skill, including experimental methods and design factors, topics related to conditions of practice, augmented feedback, retention, transfer, and theories of learning. Motor Control and Learning: A Behavioral Emphasis includes extensive references, a glossary, both subject and author indexes, and comprehensive representation of the current state of knowledge in motor behavior. It is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the literature and do research in movement control and learning.

Description: Lifelong Motor Development is a comprehensive, science-based book covering theory and research of physical growth and motor behavior across the life span. The Fourth Edition features increased coverage of dynamic systems theory P a leading theory in motor development that explains how various body systems work together to control movement. KEY TOPICS Dynamic Systems Theory explains how different body systems work together to control movement. Increased coverage of motor development applications provides readers with practical examples related to careers in motor development. For college instructors and students.

Description: This book is a comprehensive, elementary introduction to the field of motor control, stressing psychological, physiological, and computational approaches. Human Motor Control cuts across all disciplines which are defined with respect to movement: physical education, dance, physical therapy, robotics, and so on. The book is unique because it is organized around major activity areas.
Key Features
* It is a comprehensive presentation of the major problems and topics in human motor control
* Incorporates applications of work that lie outside the traditional sports or physical education teaching areas
* Emphasizes computational aspects of movement, and gives a much more detailed treatment of motor neurophysiology than other textbooks
* Includes critical appraisals of current research on such topics as internal representations of forthcoming movements, and important new theories such as Synergetics
* Compiles the latest research--each chapter has been reviewed by at least one expert
* Presents extensive discussions of activities such as tennis, long-jumping, diving, and swimming
* Features a second part which is organized in a modular fashion to allow you to read only chapters of interest

Description: Perception with an Eye for Motion analyzes the availability and use of visual information from moving objects and by moving observers to conclude that information in our visual environment is sufficiently rich so that perception can occur largely without the help of cognition.
The book is unique in several respects. It is interdisciplinary in scope, combining philosophy, history, perceptual science, and research in a sound balance; the problems that philosophers and computer scientists are dealing with are taken up in a way that will appeal to psychologists. It is the first book to treat invariance in perception in a rigorous manner, and it solves the problem of direction finding in optic flow (the motions of objects generated by our own movement through space) by discerning what information is useful and can be relied upon.
The first five chapters take up information for vision, delving into philosophical and historical issues, particularly the trustworthiness of perception, and the relation of space and projections of objects as'discussed in art and science. These chapters also cover optics, illusions, picture perception, and more particularly invariance as a term from mathematics applied to perception.
Eight chapters present the author's own research, published here for the first time. These include experiments and results concerning the perception of a moving planar surface and the perception of one's direction of movement through an environment. The book concludes by discussing two centuries-old classes of perceptual theory - direct and indirect perception - and a new theory class which the author calls "directed perception."
James E. Cutting is Professor of Psychology, Cornell University. A Bradford Book.
