Studies motor behavior change across the lifespan, the process that underlies this change, and the factors that influence it. Focus on behavior motor behavior change: focus on changes in motor behavior, focus on change across the lifespan, this emphasizes what. Focus on the processes that underlie the changes walking running: this emphasizes how. Focus on the factors causing these changes: this emphasizes why the changes happen. Is a ay of looking at motor behavior. Individual: everyone experiences something different, everyone has own motor development paths, everyone follows a model, but can spend different amount of times on different things. It is the sequence that is important step by step: one step is built upon another, proess along the mountain is determmiend by the interaction of constracnts (environment, organism, and task getting up the mountain!) Major questions : what, how and why.
