Description
This volume attempts to bring together a collection of current approaches to, and related empirical investigations on, the development
of coordination in the first two years of life. It will be of interest to scientists and students in, for example, biology, human movement
sciences, kinesiology, psychology, pediatrics, physiology, physical education, physical therapy and robotics.
Contributors include
those with established reputations in the field, as well as young authors, who are beginning to make their mark. Their efforts resulted
in twenty chapters, of which seventeen were invited. The chapters have been divided into four sections. The first chapter is intended
to outline the structure of the book.
