Foundations of Motor and Cognitive Development in Children

Foundations of Motor and Cognitive Development in Children: Psychological and Educational Perspectives presents an integrated framework for understanding childhood development through movement, cognition, sensory experiences, executive functioning, emotional regulation, communication, play, and social participation. The book explores the theoretical foundations of motor education and development before examining motor and cognitive skills, physiological development, developmental milestones, and age-specific motor, cognitive, and sensory abilities from infancy through early childhood. Designed for educators, researchers, developmental professionals, therapists, and families, the volume connects developmental theory with practical applications and emphasizes individualized, adaptive, and play-based approaches to supporting children's growth and learning.
