QUESTION: Motor Learning - ANSWER-- study of mechanisms involved in acquiring and
improving motor skills

- Goal: to understand the processes associated with practice that lead to relatively permanent
change in capability for movement



QUESTION: Motor Development - ANSWER-- study of changes of motor behaviour

- Goal: to understand the processes and factors leading to changes in performance and learning
across lifespan



QUESTION: Theoretical approaches to understanding movement - ANSWER-a) Cognitive /
Reductionist

- function can be derived from understanding characteristics of elements

- whole is equal to the sum of the parts



b) Complex / Dynamical

- function cannot be derived from understanding characteristics of elements

- whole is greater than the sum of the parts



QUESTION: Research approaches to understanding movement - ANSWER-Behaviour approach
& Neuroscience approach



QUESTION: Behaviour approach - ANSWER-- role of sensory info in influencing action

,- sensory info used at both conscious & unconscious level



QUESTION: Neuroscience approach - ANSWER-- neural events underlying movement

- general activity in brain areas during behaviour

- specific activity of neurons in brain area during behaviour



QUESTION: Active (endogenous) movement - ANSWER-- results from muscular contraction

- e.g. voluntary movement, reflexes



QUESTION: Passive (exogenous) movement - ANSWER-- results from external forces

- e.g. gravity, supporting devices



QUESTION: Types of action - ANSWER-- Reflex action

- Voluntary action



QUESTION: Reflex action - ANSWER-- INVOLUNTARY

- relatively stereotyped response to specific stimulus

- involves specific, unchanging neural network



QUESTION: Characteristics of Reflex action - ANSWER-- short latency

- stereotyped

- conscious awareness does not precede response

- responses determined by stimulus

- innate

- generally protective function

,QUESTION: Voluntary action (motor skills) - ANSWER-- requires higher order (cognitive)
processing

- involves flexible, variable neural network



QUESTION: Characteristics of Voluntary action - ANSWER-- long latency

- adaptable / can be novel

- conscious awareness precede response

- response related to but not determined by stimulus

- learned

- can be protective or harmful



QUESTION: Motor skills - ANSWER-- action or task that requires VOLUNTARY control over
movement

- can be viewed from



a) Task perspective --> a specific type of action

b) Performance proficiency perspective --> level of skills



QUESTION: Task Perspective - ANSWER-- size of muscle groups involved --> precision

- task organization --> number of steps

- environmental predictability



QUESTION: Size of muscle groups involved - ANSWER-a) Gross skills

- involves a series of muscle contractions

- accuracy does NOT matter

, e.g. walking, pushing



b) Fine skills

- accuracy matters

- e.g. writing, surgery



c) Mixed skills

- e.g. martial arts, gymnastics



QUESTION: Task Organization - ANSWER-a) Discrete

- uniquely defined --> beginning & end

- single action --> short duration

- e.g shooting a basketball



b) Serial

- a series of discrete skills connected in a specific sequence

- with order



c) Continuous

- action does NOT have a beginning & end



QUESTION: Environmental Predictability - ANSWER-a) Closed environment

- predictable

- does not change from moment to moment

- e.g. long jump, throwing darts
