An introduction to life span motor development. This third edition reflects developments in research findings and has been expanded to present topics from a unifying model of constraints approach. Students should learn not only how to look at the individual but also at the task and the environment to fully understand the factors affecting motor development. In addition, a life span approach has been integrated throughout the text. The text includes the following features: real-life vignettes applying to each chapter's content; a running glossary of terms in the margins, which provides definitions where students need them; interactive reflection questions throughout the text to help students master the material and test their learning as they go; assessment boxes to ensure that students learn about evaluation techniques and instruments in a consistent way; a list of objectives opening each chapter; and chapter summaries. Popular features from the second edition have been retained, including: discussion questions at the end of each chapter; concept summaries throughout each chapter; and an index of key terms at the end of each chapter.

There is a clarity to the way the author presents the material in this book which I found refreshing and helpful. I have a Master's Degree in Physical Therapy and managed, through this book, to finally get a handle on some of the theoretical material that blew past me during the mania of graduate school. The author is especially good in discussing the Ecological vs. the Maturational models of motor development and motor learning. If you are in pediatrics in any way, I highly recommend this book to you. It offers a very clear "helicopter view" of some very controversial and complicated material without over-simplifying things.

This book is easy to understand as I have read other motor learning books and they were not a fun read so I did not get much out of the book. Also with this book it has a webiste to log into so you can make sure you understand the concepts.
