Multistable coordination dynamics exists at many levels, from multifunctional neural circuits
in vertebrates and invertebrates to large-scale neural circuitry in humans. Moreover …

Driven by recent empirical studies, we offer a new understanding of the degrees of freedom
problem, and propose a refined concept of synergy as a neural organization that ensures a …

Nonlinear Pedagogy is a powerful paradigm for understanding human movement and for
designing effective teaching, coaching and training programmes in sport, exercise and …

This is an upper-level undergraduate or graduate textbook for courses in human movement
and skill acquisition. A professional reference for movement practitioners and scientists …

Locomotion in vertebrates and invertebrates has a long history in research as the most
prominent example of interlimb coordination. However, the evolution towards upright stance …

Humans possess great capacity for behavioral and cultural change, but our ability to
manage change is still limited. This article has two major objectives: first, to sketch a basic …

The schema theory for discrete motor skill learning (Schmidt, 1975), originally published in
1975, has generated considerable interest and received strong challenges over its lifetime …

A theoretical framework based on the concepts and tools of nonlinear dynamical systems is
advanced to account for both the persistent and transitory changes traditionally shown for …

In this paper, we review the empirical literature pertaining to the effectiveness of instructions
and movement demonstrations. Initially, we examine existing theories and approaches that …

The field of skill acquisition is in an exciting period owing to the broad interest in learning
processes and their applications across a variety of disciplines and professions (eg …
