Week 1

Question 1

motor development

Answer 1

concerned with learning and performance of skilled actions

Question 2

what are the 3 constructs of motor development?

Answer 2

the interactions between the individual, task and the environment

Question 3

what does motor development consider?

Answer 3

1. perception and action relationships
2. models of constraints

Question 4

what is motor development based on?

Answer 4

work from early psychology (study of learning)
- neuroscience
- physiology

Question 5

factors that affect movements?

Answer 5

1. person
2. environment
3. task

Question 6

what are principles of motor control and learning applied to?

Answer 6

1. coaching and teaching
2. rehabilitation
3. surgical skills training
4. ergonomic
5. robotics

Question 7

how can we study movement?

Answer 7

1. cell level
2. system level
3. behavioural level

Question 8

behavioural level of analysis

Answer 8

based on research in movement pedagogy
- psychology
- kinesiology
- neuroscience
- neurophysiology

Question 9

what did George Berkeley (1709 state in the New Theory of VIsion?

Answer 9

a being with perfect sight but “devoid of the sense of touch” could not develop the ability to perceive 3 dimensions

Question 10

systematic classification of movement published by woodworth in 1899

Answer 10

ballistic (based on what was planned) phase of movement and an online (can correct movement) control phase
- still reflected in movement today

Question 11

motor learning linked to thorndike (1914)

Answer 11

concerned with the processes underlying the learning skills

Question 12

what law is from thorndike (1914)?

Answer 12

law of effect

Question 13

law of effect

Answer 13

1. responses that are rewarded tend to be repeated
2. responses that are not rewarded tend not to be repeated

Question 14

Hull theory (1943)

Answer 14

fatigue as a result of practice is the mechanism underlying learning
- psychology abandoned motor learning after this theory proved not to be true

Question 15

does more tired mean more leaning

Answer 15

NO

Question 16

franklin m. henry

Answer 16

1. revived the field
2. development of motor programming theory
3. development of the concept of motor abilities

Question 17

integration with neural movement control

Answer 17

1. physiology of sensory organs in the muscle
2. joint angle receptors

Question 18

motor learning

Answer 18

a set of processes associated with practice or experience that leads to a relatively permanent change in the capability of movement

Question 19

motor control

Answer 19

an area of study dealing with the understanding of the neural, physical and behavioural aspects of movement
