MOVEMENT PATTERN ANALYSIS
Movement Pattern Analysis (MPA) was developed by Warren Lamb (1923-2014) while working closely with movement theorist, Rudolf Laban (1879-1958). Lamb realized he could use movement observation theory to identify recurring patterns of movement and their significance in the decision-making process. After years of furthering this initial research, Lamb successfully correlated observation methodology to a decision-making framework on a consistent basis. The research has been validated by studies at Harvard, Brown and the U.S. Naval War College. Moving Image analysts are all certified by and members of the Warren Lamb Trust Registry.
