Motor Learning Exam 1 Study Guide -
Hill
Define Movement - ANS specific patterns of motion among joints and body segments
Define Skills - ANS tasks or activities that have specific goals to achieve
Define Actions - ANS also called motor skills
What are the characteristics of skill - ANS - goal achieved
- wide range of conditions
- achieved with minimum effort
- learner, environment nature of skill
Define Motor Learning - ANS acquiring motor skills and the variables that promote or inhibit such
acquisition
- new skills performance enhancement, requisition following injury
Define Motor Control - ANS study of neural, behavioral, environmental and synergistic mechanisms
responsible for human movement & stability, express motor control
Define Neurophysiology - ANS neural process associated with movements
Define Psychology - ANS high level skills with little reference to the neurological mechanisms involved
Sir Charles Sherrington - ANS - simple reflexes are a humans most complex movements
- Nobel prize winner in 1932
,Nikolai A. Bernstein - ANS - physiologist
- movement coordination
- developed degrees of freedom problem
Paul M. Fitts - ANS - psychologist
- movement accuracy
- developed fitts law
Franklin M. Henry - ANS - psychologist
- experimented the study of movement
- pioneer of kinesiology
Ester Thelen - ANS - psychologist
- Infant movement
- applied dynamical system theory to motor learning
Who studies Motor Learning? - ANS coaches, teachers, athletic trainers, PT, OT, movement scientists,
ergonomics designer
What is a Hypothesis - ANS - an educated guess
- general problem statement or question
- translate research question
What is a Null Hypothesis? - ANS - NO relationship between the variables being studied
- equality
, What is a Research Hypothesis? - ANS - a relationship between variables
- inequality
- refers to sample, directly tested
Define Quantitative Methods - ANS testing theories using numbers
Define Qualitative Methods - ANS - testing theories using language
- ex. newspapers and conversations
Define Historical Research - ANS a search through records of the past to determine what happened and
why
Define Experimental Research - ANS manipulating and controlling events or variables to solve a problem
Define Descriptive Research - ANS describing events or conditions
Define indépendant Variables - ANS - the proposed cause
- predictor variable
- manipulated variable
Define Dependent Variables - ANS - the proposed effect
- an outcome variable
- measured not manipulated
What is a measurement - ANS - observing and recording observation
