Theoretical perspectives on the development of movement co-ordination in children

In a great diversity of daily activities children demonstrate skilled and well coordinated movement behaviour. To reach such levels of performance and flexibility takes years of learning and development. This book deals with the development of movement co-ordination of daily activities, like throwing, writing, reaching, walking, catching, kicking and cycling. An important characteristic of skilled performance is the ability to adjust the movement pattern to the (changing) circumstances of the environment.
