Feature Summary
Key Terms and Chapter Competencies
Important terms that will be used and competencies that should be attained through careful and reflective reading of each chapter are found at the beginning of each chapter. Take a few minutes to look these over in preparation for reading each of the chapters.
Key Concepts and Chapter Concepts
At the beginning of each chapter we provide a text box with a Key Concept. That concept is the overarching thought that we are trying to convey in the chapter. Several more Concepts boxes throughout the chapter highlight particular topics of discussion. For us, understanding motor development is not a matter of memorizing isolated facts, but very much a matter of understanding important developmental concepts and being able to apply these concepts as a parent, teacher, coach, or therapist in real-life settings.
Developmental Dilemmas
The study of human development is fascinating. It not only helps us better understand our own personal developmental journey and that of others, it also raises many interesting and perplexing questions. In this edition we explore Developmental Dilemmas within a box in each chapter.
International Perspectives
Although human growth and development is a universal process, perspectives on various aspects differ depending on cultural norms, ethnicity, socioeconomic conditions, and a host of other factors. In this edition we try to bring some of these perspectives to light with a box in each chapter focusing on varying International Perspectives. They should not only be quite interesting to read and consider, but should also generate thought provoking discussion.
Critical Readings
At the conclusion of each chapter we provide a brief list of Critical Readings for those interested in learning more about the topics covered. We have selected these carefully with the intent of providing the reader with additional information from top authorities in their respective fields.
Questions for Reflection
At the conclusion of each chapter is a list of questions to consider. Take time to look these over and see how well you can answer them. They are intended to serve as a guide to better understanding motor development.
Figures and Tables
Throughout the text we have included a wide variety of figures and tables. They are intended to synthesize information and to provide a visual reference for better understanding motor development.
Glossary of Terms
Words have meaning and it is important in the field of motor development, as with any other movement science, to be certain we are using terminology that conveys similar meaning. The Glossary provides a brief definition of words highlighted throughout the text. This is done to ensure that we and our readers worldwide are “on the same page” when discussing a topic.
Bibliography
We provide a chapter-by-chapter bibliography at the end of the book. These references have been selected because of their timeliness and because they represent seminal works in the particular area of motor development being discussed.
Annotated Web Resources
Each chapter includes Web Resources, a listing of websites that students can explore to find chapter-related information on the Internet. This feature allows students to expand their knowledge according to their abilities and goals and offers a springboard for independent learning. They are now annotated in this new edition to provide even further information regarding what students will gain by searching those sites.
Appendix A: Professional Position Papers Related to Motor Development Issues
This updated appendix provides a comprehensive list of position papers on a wide variety of topics in motor development.
Appendix B: Professional Organizations Related to Motor Development Issues
This updated appendix provides a reference list of the major organizations and their website information, which will be a handy guide for students doing research or interested in becoming a member of the organization.
