AB This  twelfth  edition  primarily  updates  the  previous  edition  by  adding  more  recent  research  and  interpretations  of  the  concepts  and  theoretical  views  associated  with  those  concepts  that  were  in  the  eleventh  edition.  Similar  to  the  previous  editions  this  new  edition  continues  its  two  most  distinctive  features  as  an  introductory  motor  learning  and  control  textbook:  its  overall  approach  to  the  study  of  motor  learning  and  control  and  the  organization  of  the  implementation  of  that  approach.  In  every  edition  of  this  book,  the  overall  approach  has  been  the  presentation  of  motor  learning  and  control  “concepts”  to  identify  the  common  theme  of  each  chapter.  The  concepts  should  be  viewed  as  generalized  statements  and  conclusions  synthesized  from  collections  of  research  findings.  Following  the  concept  statement  is  a  description  of  a  real-world  application  of  the  concept,  which  is  then  followed  by  discussions  of  specific  topics  and  issues  associated  with  the  concept.  An  important  part  of  these  discussions  are  summaries  of  research  evidence,  on  which  we  base  our  present  knowledge  of  each  topic  and  issue,  as  well  as  the  implications  of  this  knowledge  for  practitioners.  The  benefit  of  this  organizational  scheme  is  the  presentation  of  motor  learning  and  control  as  a  set  of  principles  and  guidelines  for  practitioners,  which  are  based  on  research  evidence  rather  than  on  tradition  or  “how  things  have  always  been  done.”
