Chapter 1 Flashcards
movements
specific patterns of motion among joints and body segments
neuromotor processes
mechanisms within the nervous and muscular systems that underlie the control of movements and actions
motor learning involves study of
acquisition of motor skills
performance enhancement of a skill
reacquisition of skill following injury/disease
motor control involves study of
how the neuromuscular system function to activate and coordinate muscles and limbs involved in motor skill
motor development involves study of
motor behavior and human development from infancy through old age
one-dimension system: size of primary muscle
gross motor skills
fine motor skills
one-dimension system: specificity
discrete motor skills
continuous motor skills
serial motor skills
a continuous series of discrete movements
enviornmental context
the physical location/setting in which a skill is performed
environmental context 3 specific features
supporting surface
objects involved
other people or animals
one-dimension system: stability of environment
closed motor skills
open motor skills
two-dimension taxonomy
environmental context: 4 sub divisions
function of the action: 4 sub divisions
Environmental Context
stationary regulatory conditions (no ITV)
stationary regulatory conditions (ITV)
in-motion regulatory conditions (no ITV)
in-motion regulatory conditions (ITV)
function of the action
body stability (no object manipulation)
body stability (object manipulation)
body transport (no object manipulation)
body transport (object manipulation)
regulatory conditions
features of environmental context to which movements must conform to achieve the action
non-regulatory conditions
features of environment that have no influence or only an indirect influence on movement characteristics
intertrial variability
variations in the regulatory conditions associated with the performance of a skill change or stay the same from one trial to the next
function of the action
whether or not the skill involves the body moving from one location to another and whether or not the skill involves holding an object
body orientation
body stability and transport
body stability
skills that involve no change in body location during performance of skill
body transport
includes active and passive changes of body locations
