Notice bibliographique
Résumé
The authors of this book describe the markers or milestones of motor development (the ‘what’), but more importantly they discuss the process of developmental change (the ‘how’) by exploring the myriad factors that influence the journey from birth to maturity. The first six chapters provide an overview of typical development, including historical changes in descriptive approaches and developmental theories, the influence of biological parameters and brain development, and detailed descriptions of the motor stages from birth to 24 months, 2–7 years, and 7 years to puberty. The second half of the text addresses atypical development. Separate chapters on cerebral palsy, developmental coordination disorder, intellectual disability, visual impairment and other developmental disorders (dyslexia, autism, attention-deficit–hyperactivity disorder and specific language impairment) provide excellent summaries of the etiology, epidemiology, pathophysiology, classification, and specific motor characteristics of each condition. These chapters are excellent for readers searching for succinct, contemporary synopses of these diagnoses; they are valuable educational resources. The final chapter addresses assessment and intervention strategies, emphasizing the symbiotic relationship between the two processes, each informing the other. Differing principles and frameworks of assessment and intervention approaches are described followed by specific examples of contemporary clinical and educational intervention approaches. Throughout the text the authors refer to their transactional model of development, which views solutions to motor skills or challenges as a product of the transactions among the characteristics of the child, the required motor task, and environmental influences. This contemporary view of development resonates not only with theoretical motor frameworks such as ecological task analysis, dynamic motor systems, and neuronal group selection, but also with the new perspective on disability espoused by the World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health and the definition of disability used in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The model provides excellent scaffolding for the discussions of motor development, both typical and atypical, and for explaining the specific emphasis of different assessment and intervention approaches. The book is well laid out with excellent introductions and summary sections for most chapters. The ‘boxed’ descriptions in each chapter provide well-written abstracts of specific research studies that have contributed to the chapter topic; they provide the reader with glimpses of the types of research being done in different areas. The book is a delight to read. It provides in-depth descriptions both of typical and atypical motor behaviours. It explains the processes that influence the emergence and change of motor skills from birth to puberty by summarizing pertinent theoretical frameworks and research evidence. It is a valuable resource for clinicians, educators, students, and anyone interested in understanding the wonder of motor development from a contemporary perspective.

Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
