In this book, the authors present new research in the study of motor behavior and control. Topics discussed include motor planning skills in neurotypical development and Autism Spectrum Disorder; the role of motor imagery in action planning; cognitive training and how it enhances motor performance and learning; laterality, load and motor imagery; motor control and impulsivity; research to better understand martial arts and motor control; assisted cycle therapy (ACT); developing the ability to activate difficult facial action units involved in emotional expressions; and coordination thermodynamics.
