1. Motor Skills activities or tasks that require voluntary control over the movement of joints
and body segments to achieve a goal
2. motor learning acquisition of motor skills, the performance enhancement of learned or
highly experienced motor skills, or the reacquisition of skills that are difficult
to perform or cannot be performed because of injury or disease
3. motor control how neuro systems function to activate and coordinate muscles and limbs
involved in the performance of a motor skill
4. motor development the relationship between motor learning and motor control across a lifespan
- how does growth and maturation influence changes in motor behavior
5. learning and control characteristics of the skill itself
of motor skills will person performing the skill
depend on ... environment the skill is performed in
6. t/f: motor skills re- true
quire some level of
competency or ca-
pacity to perform
the task
7. t/f: a motor skill true
should fall along
a continuum of
unskilled to high
skilled
8. skill level quality of performance

can they consistently achieve the skill or task
can they complete it under a range of difficulty
what is the degree of efficiency
10. degree of efficiency can they start doing it involuntarily
11. what is the cen- understanding what are the characteristics of the skill and how to become
tral concern for skillful
PT's regarding mo-
tor skills?
12. characteristics of 1. Goal to achieve - must have a purpose
motor skills as the environment changes, the goal may also change
2. must be performed voluntarily
3. requires movement of joints and body segments
13. t/f: motor skills true
require neuromo-
tor performance,
movement, and a
skill
14. gross motor skills large muscle groups, less movement precision
15. fine motor skills small muscle groups, high degree of precision and coordination
16. stationary/stabili- object, people or supporting surface dont change location during skill
ty/closed motor skill
17. moving/mobili- performer must act accordingly to change in location or transport
ty/open motor skill
18. manipulation interaction with an object, tool, assistive device
manipulation of an object
