Stages of Motor Learning
Stage 1 - Answer Children progress from simple reflexes to basic movements such as sitting,
crawling, creeping, standing, and walking.
Stages of Motor Learning
Stage 2 - Answer Children learn more complex motor patterns including running, climbing,
jumping, balancing, catching, and throwing.
Stages of Motor Learning
Stage 3 - Answer During late childhood, children learn more specific movement skills. In
addition, the basic motor patterns learned in Stage 2 become more fluid and automatic.
Stages of Motor Learning
Stage 4 - Answer During adolescence, children continue to develop general and specific motor
skills and master specialized movements. At this point, factors including practice, motivation,
and talent begin to affect the level of further development.
Practice - Answer Frequent, structured practice of motor skills enhances skill development in
children.
Positive Feedback - Answer When a skill is learned it goes into short term memory and
receives positive feedback. The skill may eventually go into their long-term memory, creating
memory that is more permanent. Encourage the performer and helps in making the performer
remember every aspect of the performance.
Intrinsic Feedback - Answer Information received by the athlete as a direct result of producing
a movement through the kinesthetic senses- e.g. feeling from muscles, joints, and balance.
Extrinsic Feedback - Answer Information not inherent in the movement itself but which
improves intrinsic feedback (this is also known as augmented feedback).
_____ feedback enables the athlete to establish a kinesthetic reference for the correct
movement. - Answer Extrinsic
, Self-Assessment - Answer Powerful tool in motor skill development. Requires students to
assess their own skills and abilities encourages students to reflect upon their current skill level
and take control of the development process.
Many physical education instructors believe that _____ learning is the most effective method of
learning motor skills. - Answer Observational Learning
_____ observation of proper skill performance by an instructor or peer is generally more
effective in promoting skill development than verbal instructions. - Answer Visual
Perceptual- motor development - Answer One's ability to receive, interpret, and respond
successfully to sensory signals coming from the environment.
Adolescents with _______ motor coordination problems are at risk for poor school
performance, low self-esteem, and inadequate physical activity participation. - Answer
Perceptual
Body Awareness - Answer Is a person's understanding of his or her own body parts and their
capability of movement.
Spacial Awareness - Answer Is the ability to make decisions about an object's positional
changes in space. (awareness of three-dimensional space position changes)
Developing spatial awareness requires two sequential phases: - Answer 1. Identifying the
location of objects in relation to one's own body in space.
2. Locating more than one object in relation to each object and independent of ones own body.
Effort Awareness - Answer Is the knowledge of balance, time and force and how they relate to
athletic movements and activities.
Societal - Answer The general perceptions around them about the importance of fitness
activities will necessarily have an effect on their own choice regarding physical activity.
"playground to Play Station"
Psychological - Answer Psychological influences on motor development and fitness include a
student's mental well-being, perceptions of fitness activities, and level of comfort in a fitness-
training environment (both alone and within a group).
