Chapter 9 Flashcards
What is motor behavior?
the study of how people learn, control, and develop motor skills
(The study of interactions of physiological and psychological processes of the body)
Define motor control And examples
IT IS ALL PHYSIOLOGY. How the movement happens in the body is the focus
Examples: coordination
Define motor development And examples
How your motor skills improve overtime as you grow up (maturation) and how you gain new skills
Examples: How you walk better as an adult than you did as a baby
What did motor behavior focus on during its early years? And what about recent years?
Early years: Watching babies and see when they start walking, talking, holding on to stuff, reflexes, eating etc.
Recent years: Understanding maturation, focusing more on physical education, and how to improve a children’s motor behavior
Define motor learning And examples
How someone learns skilled movements from practice or experience PSYCHOLOGY is involved A LOT
Examples: Learning to walk, learning to throw a ball
What theory did Franklin M. Henry create?
The memory drum theory
What did Galvani do?
Ran electricity through the body. He did experiments that resulted in the concept of bioelectricity
What do parents need to do 6 months before they want to start trying to make a baby to have a healthy baby?
Need to exercise and eat healthy
What are epigenetics in the prenatal stage?
Programming expression (environment) of inherited genes determines which genes are turned on or off
What does the infancy stage focus on in the life span stages?
Focuses on motor behavior. When do they stand up, take steps, roll over, stuff like that
What does the early childhood and later childhood focus on in the life span stages?
Really focuses on gaining coordination, diversity in sports and activities helps get coordination better
What does the Adolescence stage focus on in the life span stages?
Continue to grow, body constantly changes and modifies. Need to adjust how you do things
What is stimulus recognition in information processing?
Collection of information from the outside environment
What does the adult and older adulthood stages focus on in the life span stages?
You need yo just continue to be active and maintain your health and you can be able to run as fast as you did at 18 when you are 62
What is response selection in information processing?
What you do after you collect and process the information from the stimulus recognition
What is response programming in information processing?
When you do the action after you have selected a response to do
Define memory
Able to retain and recall facts and events and remember things from before
What is Short-term sensory store?
the first stage of memory, where sensory information is stored and responds to short term memory to the outdoors which makes movements more accurate
What is short-term memory? and an example
the ability to temporarily store and recall information for a short period of time, usually seconds or up to 30 seconds
Example: (recognizing when someone hits a tennis ball in the same way) When they hit it in a different way short memory doesn’t help us and takes us a little bit to adjust.
What is contextual interference?
When you mix things up and practice different things in practice. It will take longer to master but you will perform better in games because you do different things.
What is long-term memory?
Remember something for a long time. When you do something well and get aroused you will remember it for the longest time.
What is variability of practice?
You learn a skill faster if you repeat it again and again BUT you will suck in games.
What is summary knowledge of results?
Where you need to give new athletes feedback on how to do a certain thing so they know what to look for and how to do it and how it feels
What is fading knowledge of results
Giving athletes less feedback to let them coach themselves since they know how their body feels while doing the exercise
