The study of perceptual-motor control and learning encompasses two interconnected domains of movement behavior research. Motor Learning examines how movement skills are acquired and the elements influencing this process, including practice methods, sensory feedback, and performance feedback. While the curriculum adopts a lifespan perspective, learners can concentrate on particular developmental stages like infancy, childhood, adolescence, or senior years. Investigations occur in specialized facilities such as the Human Sensorimotor Control Laboratory and Affordance Perception-Action Laboratory, featuring advanced motion tracking systems. Additional studies on perceptual-motor control and learning take place in real-world environments like educational institutions, medical centers, and maritime vessels.
