Chapter 1: fundamentals

Question 1

Definition of Physical growth

Answer 1

is an increase in size or body mass resulting from an increase in complete, already formed body parts (Timiras, 1972)

Question 2

Definition of maturation

Answer 2

Is progress towards physical maturity, the state of optimal functional integration of an individual’s body systems and the ability to reproduce

Question 3

Definition of development

Answer 3

is a continuous process throughout the lifespan, A age advances, development proceeds, however, development can be faster or slower at different times, and ate of development can differ between individuals at the same age

Question 4

Explain individual differences

Answer 4

Predictable maturation, yet individuals are different:

Individuals function in a variety of ways, including physical, social, cognitive, and psychological.

Question 5

Explain how not all change in movement constitutes development

Answer 5

Let’s say you are taking badminton lesson, your coach finally able to get you to complete a drop shot with your back hand, we do not view this as motor development its motor learning

Question 6

Motor development

Answer 6

refers to the continuous, age- related process of change in movement

Question 7

Motor Learning

Answer 7

refers to the relatively permanent gains in motor skill capability associated with practice or experience (schmidt and lee, 2014)

Question 8

Motor control

Answer 8

they study of neural, physical and behaviour aspects of movement (schmid and lee, 2014)

Question 9

Motor behaviour

Answer 9

We use this term when we prefer not to distinguish b/w learning and motor development or if we want to include both

Question 10

Karl Newells 1986 Model

Answer 10

TIE (individual (structural/functional), task and environmental constraint’s)

Question 11

Developmental trajectory:

Answer 11

is the course of a behaviour over age or time

Question 12

Arrested development

Answer 12

is a failure to develop beyond a particular of development

Question 13

A longitudinal research study:

Answer 13

where the same individuals are observed performing the same task on numerous occasions over a long time

Question 14

Cross-sectional research study:

Answer 14

when developmental change is inferred by observing individuals at one point in time

Question 15

Cohort:

Answer 15

is a group whose members share a common characteristic, such as age or experience (For ex. 3q03 winter 2022 students)

Question 16

Sequential Research study:

Answer 16

has elements of both longitudinal (follows participants over time) and cross-sectional (included participants in different ages)

Question 17

When is a study developmental?

Answer 17

The study is developmental if the design is longitudinal, cross-sectional, or sequential. A study that focuses on one age group at one time point is not developmental

Question 18

Meta Analyses:

Answer 18

pools results from different primary sources to compile and show main themes

Question 19

Scoping Review:

Answer 19

Takes the scope of an area and compiles main themes

Question 20

Systematic Review:

Answer 20

Summary of all the literature on a particular topic, that meets the researcher’s eligibility criteria
