註釋"Offers a new approach to the understanding of the development of motor skills in children. 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. The need for standardised tests to diagnose motor dysfunction is stressed and the authors critically review those tests currently available. They go on to describe the construction and implementation of their own tests for kinaesthetic sensitivity and perceptual-motor abilities, and show how the training of kinaesthetic perception abilities improves motor control"--Back cover.
