Motor Development in Early and Later Childhood: Longitudinal Approaches

Abstract

(from the jacket) This volume describes theories and methods applicable to longitudinal research in human motor development. The approach taken relates basic scientific knowledge of nervous system growth to motor function in normal children and those at risk. /// Researchers from many different backgrounds and disciplines have been brought together to make this a broad-ranging analysis of human motor development. The subject is reviewed from both the practical and the theoretical standpoint, and the book will be of the greatest interest to paediatricians, developmental psychologists, child psychiatrists and neurologists, as well as to research scientists in these fields.
