The Developmental Movement Program focuses on the control and learning of motor skills, how perception, attention and memory impact this process, the underlying neurological correlates, and the sociological context in which we move. The curriculum includes study of the mechanisms underlying motor performance and learning as well as applications to therapeutic settings and to the design of instructional programs in sport and physical education.
Students specialize in a combination of motor development, motor learning, and motor control.
The specialization provides research opportunities in the Motor Behavior Laboratory and clinical experiences in the Kinder Kinetics Program. It also interfaces with other academic units such as Information Science, Psychology, Sociology, Communication Science and Disorders, and the Learning Research and Development Center.
