Chapter 1 Flashcards
Motor Control
Study of—physical and behavioral movement
Motor Learning
The study of—Learning skilled movements from practice
Motor development
The study of—Neurological and musculoskeletal processes in learning a new skill
Objective: Define Skill
A skill is a motor task or a characteristic of a performance or action.
Objective: Explain the relationship between motor performance and motor learning.
Performance
- observable
- influenced by: motivation, focus, fatigue etc.
Learning
- internal process of how to do it
- stable
- observes others
Objective: Discuss the stages of skill acquisition (aka, learning)
What is meant by a motor skill?
The quality of movement
What are the 3 ways we classify Motor Skills?
Discrete—Single action
Seriel–Discrete movements strung together with a beging and an end
Continuous– no end or begining
What determines the quality of movement?
Motor
Decision-making is minimized when performing the task.
If you overthink it, you mess up.
Cognitive Skill
Decision-making is maxed and the motor is minimized.
Skill development
- Time decreases (movement faster)
- Tasks achieved with more certainty
- You spend less energy performing a task
Closed
A safe and stable environment
Open
An environment that is variable and unpredictable
What is influenced by motivation and fatigue?
Performance
Maximum Certainty
Accuracy on Demand
Manimum Movement Time
perfrom in tyhe shortest amount of time possible
What is readily observable?
Performance or Learning
Performance
What are the 3 stages of learning?
Cognitivie—Self talk
Associative—Motor
Autonomous—Automatic
