Schmidt (psychology, UCLA) and Lee (kinesiology, McMaster U., Canada) provide a textbook on motor control and learning for undergraduate and graduate students in kinesiology and psychology. The
text has a behavioral emphasis focusing on movements in industry, sport, music, or dance that can be observed directly, as well as the many factors that affect the quality of these performances
and the ease with which they can be learned, and the neurological and biomechanical processes from which these behaviors are crafted. This edition has been updated with current research and has
more on attention, performance, and the motor learning process; more research highlight boxes; new end-of-chapter study tools and an instructor image bank; and new and updated diagrams. Some
chapters are shorter, while others have been expanded. Annotation 穢2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
