Download or read book Human Motor Behavior written by J.A. Scott Kelso and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-05-22 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why should anyone be interested in studying motor skills? This book is based on the contrary belief that the determinants of motor skill and the conjoint problems of how movements are coordinated and controlled are fundamentally important to anyone concerned with understanding human behavior. This includes psychologists, but applies even more especially to other disciplines-such as physical education and kinesiology-for which the subject of movement is particularly germane. In fact, this book is written primarily for undergraduates in kinesiology and physical education as well as psychology, and it may also be of interest to students in areas such as physical therapy, engineering and computer science.
