Motor Development in Early and Later Childhood: Longitudinal Approaches: European Network on Longitudinal Studies on Individual Development

Editat de Alex Fedde Kalverboer, Brian Hopkins, Reint Geuze Cuvânt înainte de David Magnusson
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 feb 1993
Motor development is an integral part of the developmental process. Understanding the organization of the sensory-motor system and its adaptations in response to environmental factors is a vital part of understanding individual development as a whole. This volume describes and discusses human motor development using longitudinal study methods, and from an interdisciplinary perspective. Researchers from a variety of different backgrounds and disciplines provide a broad-ranging analysis of human motor development, from both the practical and theoretical standpoint, in a book which will be of great interest to paediatricians, psychologists, developmental biologists, developmental psychiatrists and neurologists as well as to research scientists in these fields.

Recenzii

"The variety of approaches, richness of the original data presented, the large number of references from many sources combine to make this a very stimulating collection." Perceptual and Motor Skills
"...[the book's] scope is very impressive...the editors (and authors) have done a splendid job of cross-referencing among the different parts of the book...an interesting and quite readable summary..." H.L. Pick, Contemporary Psychology
