KINE 4323 Exam 1 Questions & Answers
Motor Skill - ANSWERSbody's ability to manage the process of movement. learned
motor learning - ANSWERSacquisition/reaquisition ; enhancement of motor skills
motor control - ANSWERShow neuromuscular systems activate and coordinate muscle
motor development - ANSWERSdevelopment of motor skills across lifespan
action - ANSWERSsynonymous with motor skill
movement - ANSWERSspecific pattern of motion among joints and body segments
neuromotor processes - ANSWERSmechanisms within nervous and muscular system that
underlie control of movement and action
gross motor skill - ANSWERSuse large musculature (running)
fine motor skill - ANSWERSrequires control of small muscles and hand-eye coordination
continuous motor skill - ANSWERSarbitrary movement, repetitive (steering a car wheel)
discrete motor skill - ANSWERSa motor skill with clearly defined movement beginning and end
points, usually requiring a simple movement (flipping a light switch)
, serial motor skill - ANSWERSThe combination of several discrete skills performed in a sequence
(typing a word)
environmental context - ANSWERSphysical location/setting in which a skill is performed
open motor skill - ANSWERSenvironmental context determines beginning of the action (catching
a ball)
closed motor skill - ANSWERScomplete control over the movement (free throw)
regulatory conditions - ANSWERSfeatures of the environmental context to which movements
must conform if they are to achieve the action goal
intertrial variability - ANSWERSvariations in the regulatory conditions from one trial to the next
regulatory/nonregulatory, intertrial variability, body stability/transport, object manipulation -
ANSWERSWhat are the different elements of gentile's taxonomy?
performance production measures - ANSWERSindicates the performance of specific aspects
(nervous, muscular, skeletal) of the motor control system during the performance of an action
performance outcome measures - ANSWERSindicates outcome/result of performing a motor
skill
reaction time - ANSWERSthe amount of time taken to respond to a specific stimulus
movement time - ANSWERSthe interval of time between the initiation of a movement and the
completion of the movement
