Aims
The module builds on the Psychological Foundations (level 4) and Psychological Principles (level 5) modules. The module is designed to develop a critical understanding within a selected number of topics in motor behaviour. You will be involved in discussion on theoretical issues associated with a number of topics in visual-motor control and learning. Importantly, you will be required to synthesise data sets and suggest how the findings can be applied to different sport and health settings
Learning Outcomes
1.
Demonstrate an ability to differentiate and integrate information from multiple sources of academic literature on various current topics in motor behaviour.
2.
Demonstrate an ability to differentiate and integrate data from empirical work in motor behaviour.
3.
Critically evaluate and synthesise experimental evidence with regard to current topics in motor behaviour.

Additional Information:This module is designed to provide an in-depth understanding of current research informed topics associated with sensorimotor control and learning. The topics are linked to staff interests and current research areas. The module will train students to evaluate data, and synthesize the findings to empirical and theoretical questions.
