320. The purpose of this course is to study major concepts
and principles fundamental to the development of sensorimotor
behavior from birth to adulthood. The overall question for this
class is: How and why do patterns of motor behavior change?
This course is intended for practitioners as well as people
interested in basic science issues. We will discuss observable
and "classic" changes in motor skill that occur over
time, and we will study the origins of new motor patterns as
well as the improvement of motor performance. We will address
changes in subsystems that affect behavior in real time and
over developmental time. We will examine and discuss methods
to assess motor performance. AS ARRANGED. Instructor(s):

particularly as they relate to upper limb control. Changes in
sensory, neuromuscular, and central neural systems will be addressed,
as well as the development of adaptive strategies and the application
of various therapeutic techniques to enhance motor performance.
Disease conditions such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, commonly
associated with the elderly, will also be discussed. While being
primarily a survey course, recent experimental findings will
be incorporated where appropriate. This course is relevant for
those students considering careers in health care delivery with
an emphasis on older populations. EVERY OTHER YEAR. Instructor(s):
