Vision and Motor Control
“Vision and Motor Control” by L. Proteau, published by Elsevier S & T in 1992, is a comprehensive exploration of the interplay between visual information and motor control. Spanning 475 pages, this edition delves into the significant research surrounding the role of vision in movement, building on foundational studies while incorporating recent theoretical and technical advancements in the field. The book presents a collection of articles from various contributors, each offering insights from their respective areas of expertise, including kinesiology, neurophysiology, and cognitive psychology.
Readers will find a broad coverage of current research and theories related to vision and human motor learning and control. Each chapter establishes an empirical and theoretical framework, discussing ongoing work and its relevance within the larger context of the discipline. The volume culminates in a synthesis chapter that identifies common themes and proposes future directions for experimentation, making it a valuable resource for those interested in experimental psychology and developmental psychology.
Official synopsis Publisher
Since the classic studies of Woodworth (1899), the role of
vision in the control of movement has been an important
research topic in experimental psychology. While many early
studies were concerned with the relative importance of vision
and kinesthesis and/or the time it takes to use visual
information, recent theoretical and technical developments
have stimulated scientists to ask questions about how
different sources of visual information contribute to motor
control in different contexts.
In this volume, articles are
presented that provide a broad coverage of the current
research and theory on vision and human motor learning and
control. Many of the contributors are colleagues that have met
over the years at the meetings and conferences concerned with
human movement. They represent a wide range of affiliation and
background including kinesiology, physical education,
neurophysiology, cognitive psychology and neuropsychology.
Thus the topic of vision and motor control is addressed from a
number of different perspectives. In general, each author sets
an empirical and theoretical framework for their topic, and
then discusses current work from their own laboratory, and how
it fits into the larger context. A synthesis chapter at the end of the volume identifies commonalities in the work and suggests directions for future experimentation.
