Learning Outcomes
At course completion, students should be able to understand and criticize the basic principles of motor behavior, the perceptual models of human performance and the cognitive strategies underlying skill acquisition through learning. Students should also be able to guide motor performance improvement and optimization in real environments. Through lectures and laboratory exercises students will learn to experimentally assess reaction time, perception-action coupling, motor learning and the effect of feedback on learning.
General Competences
- Apply knowledge in practice
- Retrieve, analyse and synthesise data and information, with the use of necessary technologies
- Adapt to new situations
- Make decisions
- Work in an interdisciplinary team
- Generate new research ideas
- Advance free, creative and causative thinking
