This up-to-date handbook focuses on the study of action, or "motor control," which examines movement
and skill and the internal processes that lead to them. As action is interrelated with cognition, this is a vigorous
field of investigation. Written by international experts, Motor Skills provides current reviews on general
processes important to motor control--learning, coordination, timing, planning, and control--and on the individual
skills of throwing, catching, reaching, and typing. The text describes important conceptual and methodological
advances regarding control theory and timing, and is divided into two sections which analyze skill from the perspectives
of general processes and individual skills.
