Chapter 1-3 TEST 1 Flashcards
What is Newell’s Constriant Theory? (It has 3 parts).
1) the individual within them is structural and functional. 2) the environment, or world around you. 3) Task or Goal.
Universality Vs. Variability
Universality:: every typical developing person will reach certain milestones. Variability:: we do not all hit milestones at the same time or way.
How do you produce coordinated movements and learn new movements with the information processing theory and dynamic systems theory?
Information Processing Theory:: some sort of environmental stimulus-> identify it -> Select a response -> program our body to it. Dynamic Systems Theory:: based on our task, constraints, and environment we can spontaneously create movement. Learn:: we learn and progress from our tractor states.
Attractor states
Behavior we are comfortable with.
Gibson’ affordance
What an object within our environment can provide for us.
Kinetic Chain
The transfer of energy through our system to produce force. 1) events that take place must be in order. 2) timing of that transfer.
Force absorption
When Absorbing force, either you either increase force at the time of impact OR you increase the surface area at the time of impact.
Application of stability, balance, mobility, and force.
Balance and stability, if you have one you have the other. In order to create force we must create mobility, but we do so with the risk of losing stability and balance.
General Concept/idea of general motor programs and dynamic systems theory.
General Motor Programs Theory:: a memory based system we use our memory to learn new motor skills. Dynamic Systems Theory:: we are able to organize ourselves based on constraints.
Differences/Similarities between Motor Learning and Motor Development.
They are both change, learning is short term and development is long term.
