Motor Control and Learning

Motor Control and Learning: A Behavioral Emphasis, 6th Edition, is a textbook that investigates observable movement behavior, factors affecting movement quality, and motor skill acquisition. The text analyzes how cognitive, neurological, motivational, and biomechanical processes guide human movement toward smooth and agile performance.

Core subject areas address mechanisms of motor control alongside foundational concepts of motor learning. Discussions explore how coordination develops, how speed and accuracy interact, and how practice structure and feedback influence skill retention and transfer.

Intended for students and practitioners who study or work in fields involving movement behavior, the volume reinforces key terms and concepts with end-of-chapter summaries and student assignments.
