Course content
Topics: Control of human movement - Closed loop motion control systems; feedback, forward and reflex motion control. - Sensory contributions to motion control - functions of visual, proprioceptive and auditory perception. - Central (cognitive) mechanisms of motion control; open loop control. Information processing. - Functions of attention, anticipation and operative memory in motion control. - Decision making in movement behavior. - Motor coordination; synergy concept; individual differences. - Basics of methodology for examining movement skills. Physical learning - Arrangement of conditions for movement learning. - Feedback in movement learning. - Retention and transfer in movement learning. - Bottom-up and top-down methods in the correction and cultivation of motor fitness. - Visual training (stroboscopic training, quiet eye training), virtual and augmented reality for movement skills training. - Methodology of assessment of movement learning. Approaches different from the cognitive psychological concept of movement control and movement learning - ecological-psychological approach and dynamic-system approach - Characteristics and contribution to theory and practice.

Learning outcomes
The course provides a more comprehensive insight into the sensory-motor and cognitive-motor mechanisms of human movement control and movement activities. The understanding of these mechanisms is followed by the issue of movement learning, especially methods of organizing learning conditions and modern training methods (visual types of training, virtual and augmented reality, the use of new aids, etc.) for acquiring and optimizing sensorimotor skills. These areas are associated with applications to sports, education of children and youth, corrective interventions in children and adults with neurodevelopmental disorders (eg ADHD, DCD) and disabilities (physical, perceptual), and work (professional) activities. Students will also learn the basics of the methodology of research on motor behavior and learning.
