Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - The Learning of motor skills : sports science and ergonomics perspectives

Notas: Sumario: The paper describes some of the common origins of ergonomics and sports science in the UK with particular reference to research on motor learning. Attention is drawn to the value of analytical methods developed by ergonomists in deriving training prescriptions and their relationship with conventional learning theory is discussed. The cognitive revolution, which in the last 25 years has changed the face of psychology, has also had its impact on ergonomics and basic research on motor skills. The role of cognitive processes in motor learning is being reassessed and there is a renewed interest in topics such as verbal instruction, imitation, and imagery, and mental practice which to earlier generations of behavioural scientists appeared beyond the scope of scientific investigation. The paper outlines some recent research into the role of imagery in motor learning illustrating these new approachesRegistros relacionados: En: Ergonomics. - London and Washington. - Vol. 37, nº 1, January 1994 ; p. 5-16Materia / lugar / evento: Ergonomía Motores Deportes Formación Métodos analíticos Gran Bretaña Títulos secundários: Título: Ergonomics
