Advances in Motor Learning and Control surveys the latest, most important advances in the field, surpassing the confines of debate between proponents of the information processing and dynamical systems.

Zelaznik, editor of the Journal of Motor Behavior from 1989 to 1996, brings together a variety of perspectives. Some of the more difficult topics-such as behavioral analysis of trajectory formation and the dynamic pattern perspective of rhythmic movement-are presented in tutorial fashion. Other chapters provide a foundation for understanding increasingly specialized areas of study.
