| Abstract |
"Lifelong Motor Development frames the study of motor development as the study of change: specifically, changes in the physiological and neurological processes that underscore perception and action and coordinated movement across the lifespan. Gabbard writes from the developmental systems perspective, which says development is the product of interactions between biological systems and environmental contexts. This perspective incorporates several theories of development, including ecological theory; dynamic systems theory; the constraints model; and environmental perspectives"-- Provided by publisher. |
