DESCRIPTION:
It provides readers with practical implications of the constraints-led approach and includes hypothetical case studies, which contain examples of the constraints-led model in action. 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, behavioral, psychological) and the many subsystems (e.g., perceptual and movement) involved in producing behavior. Dynamics of Skill Acquisition is divided into two parts. By learning both the theoretical origins and applications for implementing a constraints-led approach to movement skill acquisition, readers will gain insight into how the informed organization of learning and rehabilitation environments produces more effective and efficient use of practice and therapy time. No other book presents the theoretical roots and development to the constraints-led perspective and uses a blend of both dynamical systems and ecological approaches to skill acquisition to provide application strategies for all people with an interest in movement coordination and control.. Part I provides an overview of the key theoretical contributions to the study of skill acquisition and introduces the constraints-led approach focusing on the impl

"Paradigm-shift" according to Mladen Jovanovic. Before I praise this book, I must admit that you do need to have basic grasp of traditional (information processing) approaches to skill acquisition and performance, and good sources for that information are "Motor Learning and Performance" by Schmidt and Wrisberg, and "Sport Skill Instruction for Coaches" by Wrisberg.The boo. New Perspective I have been studying, through empirical research, training methods and styles for various sports and I really enjoyed this book. It gives a new perspective on the ideal of training methodologies. There are some excellent considerations for understanding how once the skill is acquired it may be applied to the environment. For
