Q

As the brain matures, it begins to control posture and movement previously dominated by the primitive reflexes. Initial random movements are followed by maintenance of posture (stability), movement within posture (controlled mobility), and movement from one posture to another (skill). What theory is this?

A

Hierarchic Theory

Q

Systems Model

As body systems grow and mature the speed of nervous system responses _______ by producing different _______ responses.

A

increase, motor

20
Q

What is the basic functional unit?

A

motor pattern (rolling, creeping, walking)

21
Q

What is the relationship between posture and movement?

A

postural control

22
Q

What is necessary to execute a motor plan?

A

proper postural positioning

23
Q

What theory is based on sway strategies?

A

Nasher’s Model

24
Q

Nasher’s Model has what 3 sway strategies?

A
  1. Ankle
  2. Hip
  3. Stepping
25
Q

What is the Ankle Strategy?

A

Movement at the ankle’s maintains quiet standing on a firm surface

26
Q

What is the hip strategy?

A

activated when BOS is narrower, muscles around the hip activate proximal to distal

27
Q

What is stepping strategy?

A

if speed and strengh of balance disturbance is great enough, take a step

28
Q

Without proper _______ __________, motor development can’t proceed normally.

A

motor control

29
Q

True/False:

Motor development can proceed normally without motor control?

A

False

30
Q

Process that causes a permanent change in motor performance as a result of practice or expertise?

A

Motor learning

31
Q

Many ________ motor patterns such as running and throwing are learned in ________

A

fundamental, childhood

32
Q

What are the 3 phases of learning?

A
  1. Cognitive
  2. Associative
  3. Autonomous
33
Q

This phase requires a lot of new conscious thought with new tasks. Children or adults with cognitive or processing deficits have problems in this stage. What stage am I?

A

Cognitive Phase

34
Q

Learning takes place through trial and error, sensory feed back is crucial and must practive in a variety of settings…what stage am I?

A

Associative Phase

35
Q

Task is mastered, it can be conducted and carried out with less attention, what phase am I?

A

Autonomous Phase

36
Q

True/False:

The more closely the practice enviornment resembles the actual environment, the skill will be done in, the better the transfer of learning?

A

True

37
Q

What is Whole part training?

A

If parts are truly subunits of the task, then working on them individually does enhance learing of the whole task. If parts are not specific to the task, breaking into parts may not help in learning the task as a whole

38
Q

True/False:

Parts not subunits of the task may not help learning the task as a whole?

A

True

39
Q

_______ _________ is an essential part of motor development?

A

motor learning

40
Q

What is the Lifespan Approach when it comes to motor development? 3 things.

A
  1. Development can occur in positive direction, infant able to do more as they get older
  2. Development can occur in negative direction, speed and accuracy of movement declines after maturity
  3. Continuous process is not linear (ups and downs throughout lifespan)
41
Q

What are the 2 Development Concepts?

A
  1. Epigenesis

2. Directional

42
Q

What is the Epigenesis Concept?

A

Develop from simple to complex

  • generally develop gross motor before fine, but may be working on more that 1 task at a time at various stages of skill
  • 1 skill does not need to be perfect before starting the next, and some may be skipped
43
Q

True/False:

During the Epigensis stage, one skill needs to be developed before another skill can begin.

A

False

44
Q

What are the elements to Directional Concepts?

A
  1. Cephalic to Caudal-head control develops before trunk UE before LE
  2. Proximal to distal-stable base of trunk must develop before movement is superimposed
  3. Mass to specific-simple movement to complex movement
  4. Gross to fine-large muscle movement to smaller fine control
45
Q

What control must develop before trunk with the Directional Concepts

A

head

46
Q

Stable base of ______ must develop before movement is superimposed

A

trunk

47
Q

______ movement to _______ movement

A

simple, complex

48
Q

Large______ movement to smaller ______ control

A

muscle, fine
