"The Effects of Staying Active in the Golden Years"
Speaker: Alberto Cordova, Director of the Motor Development Laboratory, The University of Texas at San Antonio
Biography:
Alberto Cordova received his BS in Exercise and Sport Studies from Tarleton State University, and his MS and PhD in Kinesiology/Motor Neuroscience from Texas A&M University. Dr. Cordova's primary research interest is in exploring the cognitive level of action processing in children. His work aims to explore the preception and action dynamics inolved in action processing. Dr. Cordova’s current projects also involve special populations (i.e. Developmental Coordination Disorder) where he is investigating brain structures that may be responsible for the disorder and developing observational techniques to assess the quality and quantity of how young children (birth to 3 years) develop. Of particular interest here is his current work with elderly and how exercise along with other factors may affect one’s development. Through these endeavors, he will understand more clearly the neural structures responsible for development.
