Dynamics of Skill Acquisition: A Constraints-Led Approach provides a comprehensive analysis of the evolution of the constraints-led perspective, a recognized theory in motor learning and control. It is the first text to outline the development of a conceptual model of coordination and control within a multidisciplinary framework, capturing the various interlocking scales of analysis (e.g., neural, behavioural, psychological) and the many subsystems (e.g., perceptual and movement) involved in producing behaviour. A conceptual model of coordination and control is important not just for designing learning environments, but it is also important for ensuring that learners gain positive experiences when acquiring motor skills.
Dynamics of Skill Acquisition provides the foundational concepts, methodological tools, and language to design positive learning experiences that facilitate movement coordination and control across various dynamic environments that require a high degree of precision of movements, from playing golf to performing surgery. The text also incorporates several learning features to assist readers: Chapter outlines list major topics and subtopics; Self-test questions at the end of each chapter provide opportunities for class discussion, individual review and reflection, and talking points for independent studies; Spotlight on Research highlight boxes provide more detailed descriptions of important studies to help readers understand how interacting constraints shape movement behaviour; Key Concept boxes in each chapter remind students of the chapters’ important concepts; Realistic case studies in the final chapter help both students and practitioners visualize the constraints-led approach in practice. Each case study expands on the topics addressed in part II and encourages both reflection and application of knowledge to provide a solution; Additional readings at the end of each chapter allow students, movement scientists, and practitioners to expand their learning; Glossary terms are boldfaced in text and defined in a glossary at the end of the book; Chapter summaries offer a compilation of important concepts.
