Reseña o resumen
Motor Learning and Development, Third Edition, outlines the fundamental concepts of both motor learning and
motor development. It explores movement patterns across all ages throughout the human life span, including
the influences of life transitions and individual and sociocultural constraints. The text provides a complete
framework for students to consider the many variables for each individual and then create and implement
developmentally appropriate movement programs. It has related online activities and video clips designed to
encourage critical thinking and application of concepts. Lab activities, which can be assigned by instructors in
HKPropel, require students to complete hands-on assignments and draw conclusions. Over 90 videos
demonstrate people of various ages, including infants, completing motor tasks so students can observe and
assess movements throughout the life span firsthand.
