EXSC 351 EXAM 1 FINAL BASED ON FINAL EXAM
STUDY THIS!!
Gross motor skills
answers: Use large muscle groups and generally have little precision, often use
whole body movements
Fine motor skills
answers: Use small muscles and are precise. Perceptual motor skills
Closed skills
answers: Performed in an environment that is stable and predictable. Self paced
Open skills
answers: Performed in changing and unpredictable environment. Often externally
paced
Discrete skills
answers: Have a clear beginning and end
Serial skills
answers: A series of discrete movements done in order to produce a larger or
compound motor skill. They repeat the same type of action (playing piano) OR
string together different actions (layups in b-ball or floor routine)
Continuous skills
, answers: Repetitive skills such as swimming or running that have arbitrary
beginnings and endings. Endpoint determined by performer and the skill itself
Performance/criterion measure
answers: Measure that accurately measures success
-response/performance outcome
-response/performance production
ex: EMG helps evaluate movement characteristics
Performance outcome
answers: Measures hat evaluate the result of a particular skilled action. Reveal
what happened not how it happened (speed, time, accuracy, direction)
procedures for measuring motor skill performance
answers: 1. determine appropriate and VALID performance measure
2. test the performance measure for accuracy and reliability
validity
answers: refers to measuring what you want to know
accuracy
answers: the level of precision or resolution
, reliability
answers: the ability to obtain similar results over repeated testing
Performance production
answers: Reveal how a response was produced. (Kinematic measures of
displacement, velocity, and acceleration, and force and torque)
Reaction time (RT)
answers: Measure of time from a stimulus to the onset of a response. Does not
include movement. Measures information processing time involved in a task
(The most practically useful way to measure the cognitive components that
accompany motor skill performance.)
Information processing
answers: The essential job for brain
Take in information and interpret, store, and manipulate it.
gaze tracking
answers: measure of information processing
-uses specialized cameras to track eye movements. often used to identify visual
search and attention control strategies
visual occlusion
