Chapter 1 And Chapter 2

Question 1

Motor Development

Answer 1

Refers to the continuous, age related process of change in movement as well as the interacting constraints or factors in the individual , environment, and task that drive these changes

Question 2

Motor learning

Answer 2

Refers the relatively permanent gains in motor skill capability associated with practice or experience

Question 3

Motor control

Answer 3

Study of the neural,physical and behavioral aspects of movement

Question 4

Physical growth

Answer 4

Increase in size or body mass resulting from an increase in complete already formed body parts

Question 5

Physiological maturation

Answer 5

Qualitative advance in biological makeup and may refer to cell organ or system advancement in biochemical composition rather that to size alone

Question 6

Aging

Answer 6

Process occurring with the passage I of time that leads to loss of adaptability or full function and eventually to death

Question 7

Newell’s Model

Answer 7

Karl Newell -movements arise from the interaction of the organism, the environment in which the movement occurs and the task to be undertaken

Question 8

Constraint

Answer 8

Characteristic o f the individual environment or task that encourages some movements while discouraging other

Question 9

Individual constraints

Answer 9

Person’s or organism’s unique physical and mental characteristics

Question 10

Structural Constraints

Answer 10

Individual constraints related to the body’s structure

Question 11

Functional constraints

Answer 11

Are individual constraints related to behavioral function

Question 12

Enviromental constraints

Answer 12

Constraints related to the world around

Question 13

Task constraints

Answer 13

Goals and rule structure of a particular movement or activity

Question 14

Developmental trajectory

Answer 14

Course of a behavior over age and time

Question 15

Arrested developmental

Answer 15

A failure to develop beyond a particular point of developmental

Question 16

Longitudinal research study

Answer 16

One in which the same individual or group is observed performing the same tasks or behavior on numerous occasions over a long time

Question 17

Cross sectional research study

Answer 17

One in which developmental change is inferred by observing individuals or groups of varying ages at one point in time

Question 18

Cohort

Answer 18

Group whose members share a common characteristic such as age or experience

Question 19

Mixed longitudinal/sequential research study

Answer 19

Several age groups are observed at one time or over a shorter time span permitting observation of an age span permitting observation of an age span that is longer than the observation previous

Question 20

Maturational Perspective

Answer 20

Developmental change as a function of maturational processes ( in particular through the central nervous system) that control or dictate motor development
