Synopsis

This book deals with research on movement and locomotion and is designed to be a techniques book with the aim of providing methodological information about procedures, measurement and analysis. The first part of the book covers basic laboratory methodology for measurement of motor activity in a variety of animals as well as humans. The second section examines species-specific movements, including reflexes, reaching and grasping, swimming and locomotion. Both developmental and conceptual issues are included. The last part of the book provides an overview of statistical and experimental design issues to help the reader plan research projects and interpret findings.
