Motor Learning Midterm Exam (Answered) 100%
Movement can be
genetic or learned
Genetic Movement example
walking pattern
Learned movement example
driving a car
learned movement definition
not inherited
takes extensive practice
skill
maximum certainty and minimum outlay of time and energy
ranges from simple to complex
movement behavior classifications
discrete, continuous, serial
open/closed
discrete, continuous, serial
based on particular movement
open/closed
based on perceptual attributes
discrete movements
recognizable beginning and end
fast or slow
discrete movement example
kicking a ball
knowing which button to pushbased on which light
continuous movement
no recognizable beginning or end
longer movement times
based on tracking tasks
continuous movement example
swimming, running
steering a car on the road (road is tracking)
serial movements
neither discrete or continuous
series of individual movements strung together
serial movements example
starting a car
dance routines
lighting a wood fireplace
open skills
cannot plan for in advance effective
success of movement depends on adaption
open skills example
the weather (always changing)
, closed skill
environment is stable and predictable
movement can be planned in advance
closed skill examples
bowling, archery
signing your name on a check
objectivity
observations subject to public verification
reliability/stability
the extent to which scores are repeatable
Validity
the extent to which the test measures what the experimenter intend to measure
Sensitivity
Extent to which independent observers achieve the same score
motor behavior
-study of movement
-Study of the physiological andpsychological processes that affect motor performance
-Subdiscipline of Kinesiology
-research in the disciplines of motor learningand motor control.
motor behavior prepares practitioners, researchers, and educators to
- reduce injury risk
• return to normal function post-injury
• improve health and performance of physically active individual or all ages
motor behavior includes
all kinds of movements
involuntary twitches to goal directed actions
motor learning
Relatively permanent changes
motor control
-addresses how the nervous system and sensory system work together in the control of
movement
-The neural, physical, and behavioral aspects of movement
Learned movements
the study of how movements are produced differently as a result of practice or
experience
motor development
Changes in the acquisition ofskill and in the neural, physical,and behavioral aspects
ofmovement across the life span
Goals of motor behavior
To understand how motor skills are learned and controlled
To understand how the learning and control of motor skills change across the life span
