Dynamics of Skill Acquisition

by Keith Davids

Dynamics of Skill Acquisition provides a comprehensive analysis of the evolution of the constraints-led perspective, a recognized theory in motor learning and control. 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 and the many subsystems involved in producing behavior. Dynamics of Skill Acquisition incorporates several learning features to help both students and practitioners visualize the constraints-led approach in practice. In particular, the constraints-led approach shifts practitioners' perspective on how to do the following: Deal with individual differences Organize practice to optimize learning Use verbal instructions and feedback Direct learners' attention during skill observationWith the increased interest in the role of constraints to shape motor learning, Dynamics of Skill Acquisition provides a timely analysis of the constraints-led approach, helping readers understand how coordination patterns are assembled, controlled, and acquired. Both practitioners and students will benefit from the strategies that address skill acquisition across a variety of professions, including teaching, coaching, and rehabilitation. 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.
