Chapter 18 Lecture Flashcards
Punt:
a form of kicking where an object is dropped from the individual’s hands before impact with the foot
Newell’s model of constraints:
- individual constraints (structural, functional)
- task constraints
- environmental constraints
Main assumption of ecological approach:
motor skills, movement form, performance outcomes are results of dynamic interaction between 3 constraints
ETA =
ecological task analysis
4 steps of the ETA:
- establish task goal
- structure the environment to allow for choice in movement
- manipulate/establish boundaries
- instructional strategies
Fundamental differences between the ecological and developmental approach:
not as focused on normalized motor skills
Following the ecological approach - tasks are categorized by ____ and _____ (_____ _____ categories), not specific ____ ____.
- function
- intention
- functional task categories
- motor skills
What are the functional/general task categories?
- locomotion (on land and in water)
- object manipulation
- object propulsion
- object reception
- postural maintenance and orientation
Step 1: 3 components of the task goal:
- functional task category
- task condition
- task criteria
Task condition:
specific characteristics that influence the form of a task
Task criteria:
how performance of a particular task is assessed (can either be qualitative or quantitative)
Example: students will propel (…) at object at a target (…) and hit the target 8 times in a row (…).
- functional task category
- condition
- criteria
Example: propel a baseball (…) from first to third base (…) before runner reaches third base (…).
- functional task category
- condition
- criteria
Example: move (…) from one end of the gym to another (…) before being tagged by the person that is chasing you (….).
- functional task category
- condition
- criteria
Step 2: once the ___ ___ has been established, structure the environment so that the participant can ____/____ the motor skill and movement form that best suits their ____ _____.
- task goal
- choose/explore
- individual needs
