Loose Leaf. This is the loose-leaf version of Motor Learning and Performance, Seventh Edition With HKPropel Access, which offers students a less expensive, printed version of the text.Motor Learning and Performance: From Principles to Application, Seventh Edition With HKPropel Access, constructs a conceptual model of factors that influence motor performance, outlines how motor skills are acquired and retained with practice, and shows students how to apply the concepts to a variety of real-world settings. Written in a style that is accessible even to students with little or no knowledge of physiology, psychology, statistical methods, or other basic sciences, this text enables students to appreciate high-level skilled activity and understand how such incredible performances occur. The seventh edition of Motor Learning and Performance offers a new chapter that invites students to expand their thinking about the learning process by considering various theoretical explanations for how motor learning occurs. This latest edition has been carefully revised to incorporate the most recent and important research findings in the field, and it is supplemented with practice situations to facilitate a stronger link between research-based principles and practical applications. Related multimedia components delivered through HKPropel further enrich the learning experience with 12 principles-to-application exercises, 53 interactive activities, and 27 lab activities that can be filled in online and printed or emailed. The 47 narratives from Motor Control in Everyday Actions that are referenced in the book have been updated and are provided in their entirety to illustrate how motor behavior is applicable to real life. Key term quizzes and flash cards offer students interactive opportunities to engage with the content-all of which can be assigned, and progress tracked, by instructors directly through HKPropel. In addition, chapter quizzes that test comprehension of critical concepts may be assigned and are automatically graded. As the text investigates the principles of human performance, pedagogical aids such as learning objectives, key terms, and Check Your Understanding questions help students stay on track with learning in each chapter. Focus on Research and Focus on Application sidebars deliver more detailed research information and make connections to real-world applications in areas such as teaching, coaching, and therapy. Photo learning activities challenge students with visual exercises, and 48 figures with enlightening audio descriptions can be accessed via QR code. The seventh edition of Motor Learning and Performance goes beyond simply presenting research-it challenges students to grasp the fundamental concepts of motor performance and learning and then go a step further by applying the concepts. Incorporating familiar scenarios brings real-world context to the material for students, leading to better retention and greater interest in practical application of motor performance and learning in their everyday lives and future. Note: A code for accessing HKPropel is included with all new print books. Explore practical foundations of motor performance and learning, highlighting how skills are acquired, retained, and applied to everyday challenges. Revised with new research, engaging exercises, and multimedia tools, the text connects theoretical principles with real-life scenarios to deepen understanding and promote active learning.

Informazioni sull'autore

Timothy D. Lee, PhD, is a professor emeritus in the department of kinesiology at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. He has published extensively in motor behavior and psychology journals since 1980, has served as an editor for the Journal of Motor Behavior and Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, and has been an editorial board member for Psychological Review. Before his retirement, his research was supported primarily by grants from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada.

Lee has been a member, secretary-treasurer, and president of the Canadian Society for Psychomotor Learning and Sport Psychology (SCAPPS) and a member of the North American Society for the Psychology of Sport and Physical Activity (NASPSPA), the Psychonomic Society, and the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society. In 1980, he received the inaugural Young Scientist Award from SCAPPS, and in 2011 he was named a fellow of the society—its highest honor. He was named an international fellow by the National Academy of Kinesiology in 1999 and awarded the Distinguished Scholar Award by NASPSPA in 2017. His leisure-time passions include golf and music.

Richard A. Schmidt, PhD (1941-2015) was a professor emeritus in the department of psychology at UCLA. At the time of his death, Schmidt ran his own business, Human Performance Research, conducting research and consulting in the area of human factors and human performance. Widely acknowledged as one of the leaders in research on motor behavior, he had more than 40 years of experience in motor learning and performance.

The originator of both schema theory and impulse-variability theory (also called Schmidt’s law), he founded the Journal of Motor Behavior in 1969 and was editor for 11 years. He authored the first edition of Motor Control and Learning in 1982 and the first edition of this book, Motor Learning and Performance, in 1991.

Schmidt was highly recognized for his contribution of a lifetime of research and writing. He received honorary doctorates from the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium in 1992 and the Université Joseph Fourier in France in 1998. He was a longtime member of the North American Society for the Psychology of Sport and Physical Activity (NASPSPA), where he served as president in 1982 and received the organization’s two highest honors: the Distinguished Scholar Award (for lifetime contributions to research in motor control and learning) in 1992 and the President’s Award (for significant contributions to the development and growth of NASPSPA) in 2013. He was also a member of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society and the Psychonomic Society and received the C.H. McCloy Research Lectureship from the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance. His leisure-time passions included sailboat and Porsche racing.
