This document discusses motor learning and skill acquisition. It defines motor skills as tasks requiring voluntary control over body movements to achieve a goal, such as riding a bike or weightlifting. It then explains that motor learning and skill acquisition refer to learning and performing these skills through movement science. The study of motor learning and control plays an important role in both performing and rehabilitating skills. It also includes several video links on topics related to skill acquisition, motor learning, practice variability, and learning in general.
