Motor skill is harder to define as the term is used whenever a motor learning behavior improves along some dimension. Nevertheless, we have recently argued that as in perceptual learning, acuity is an integral component in motor skill learning. In this special topic we set out to integrate experimental and theoretical work on perceptual and motor skill learning and to stimulate a discussion regarding the similarities and differences between these two kinds of learning.
Learning occurs through dynamic interactions and exchanges with the physical and the social world, and consequently movements of eyes and head, arms and legs, and the entire body are a critical during learning.
At birth, we start with relatively poorly developed motor skills but soon gain eye and head control, learn to reach, grasp, sit, and eventually to crawl and walk on our own. The opportunities arising from each of these motor milestones are profound and open new and exciting possibilities for exploration and interactions, and learning.
Recently, empirical studies have started to unravel the direct impact that motor skills may have other domains of development. This volume is part of this renewed interest and includes reviews of previous findings and recent empirical evidence for associations between the motor domain and other domains from leading researchers in the field of child development. We hope that these articles will stimulate further research on this interesting question. The activities can be used in a week sequential program or individually.
You also receive a web resource that offers activity cards, bonus activities, active learning cards, audio tracks, a record sheet, and other tools.
Other helpful features include a glossary of terms and a reference list of individuals and organizations that work with learning disabled children to develop these skills. The first of its kind, Developing Ocular Motor and Visual Perceptual Skills utilizes a learning approach by linking the theories with the remediation activities to help learning disabled children improve their perceptual and fine motor skills.
All professionals looking to assess and enhance a variety of fine motor and visual perception deficiencies will welcome this workbook into their practices" -- Publisher description. Perceptual motor Behaviour Author : Judith I. 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.
