This paper outlines a framework for strength training as a dynamical model of perceptual-
motor learning. We show, with emphasis on fixed-point attractor dynamics, that strength …

In this paper we present theoretical and operational perspectives on the functions of motor
learning with refer-ence to sport skills. The data available on this issue are largely from non …

The impact ofdynamic pattern theory has been seen in a variety of research areas, including
development (Thelen & Smith, 1994), aging (Greene & Williams, 1996), rehabilitation …

A multiple time scales landscape model is presented that reveals structures of performance
dynamics that were not resolved in the traditional power law analysis of motor learning. It …

In this paper, I maintain that the dynamical systems approach provides the theoretical
framework from which such a theory can be derived. To make the case, I describe the …

Individual differences are observed in motor learning and development; however, studies
typically analyze the averaged data over groups of participants. Based on the ergodic …

Skill acquisition can be conceived as a nonlinear, emergent process punctuated by sudden
changes in skill ca-pability and coordination dynamics stability. The rate of learning when …

The experiments examined qualitative and quantitative changes in the dynamics of learning
a novel motor skill (roller ball task) as a function of the manipulation of a control parameter …

Motor learning involves processes that develop with experience, which changes an
individual's behaviours and internal state. Effective practice for motor learning tends to be …
