Special Issue on The Role of Practice in Motor Skill Acquisition

Description

In this special issue, papers provide a comprehensive and thoughtful analysis of motor learning theories and processes (cognitive, perceptual, and motor mechanisms) emphasizing how different levels of analysis are changed during practice, leading to the acquisition of new motor skills.

Guest editor 

Dr. Matheus Maia Pacheco (Universidade do Porto, Porto, Portugal)

Peer-review process

The editorial review process followed the BJMB's peer-review guidelines. The manuscripts were handled by the guest editor that invited at least two independent reviewers for a double-blind review.
