Q

Describe Halverson’s observations of transition from power to precision:

A

23
Q

RAM =

A

rapid aiming movements

24
Q

RAM involve a ____ and ____ to ____ ____; then a ______ and ____ phase.

A
  • initiation
  • acceleration
  • peak velocity
  • deceleration
  • termination
25
Q

With RAM, young adults tend to have _____ phases.

A

symmetrical

26
Q

With RAM, older adults move less far in _____ phase, thus have longer _____ phase.

A
  • acceleration

- deceleration

27
Q

Ideally objects are caught in the ____ so they can be _____.

A
  • hands

- manipulated

28
Q

Needing to _____ an object makes catching more difficult.

A

intercept

29
Q

Early catching:

A
  • initially position arms and hands rigidly, sometimes trap ball against chest
  • sometimes turn their head away or close their eyes
30
Q

Proficient catching:

A
  • Hands “give” with the ball to gradually absorb force
  • Catcher moves from side to side or forward and back to intercept the ball
  • Fingers are pointed up for high balls and down for low balls
31
Q

____ and ____ constraints greatly affect the difficulty of catching.

A
  • task

- environmental

32
Q

4 steps of arm action in catching:

A
  1. little response
  2. hugging
  3. scooping
  4. arms “give”
33
Q

3 steps of hand action in catching:

A
  1. palms up
  2. palms in
  3. palms adjusted
34
Q

3 steps of body action in catching:

A
  1. no adjustment
  2. awkward adjustment
  3. proper adjustment
35
Q

For comparisons, ____ and ____ constraints must be consistent.

A
  • task

- environmental

36
Q

Common way to assess catching:

A

the number of catches in a set of attempts can be scored

37
Q

The ____ _____ can provide information about the movement process.

A

developmental sequence

38
Q

______ is involved in many manipulative tasks and interception skills.

A

anticipation

39
Q

Studies often involve _____-anticipation tasks.

A

coincidence

40
Q

Coincidence-anticipation tasks:

A

anticipating completion of movement to coincide with arrival of moving object

41
Q

Interception success is often related to…

A
  • ball size
  • speed
  • trajectory
  • other task and environmental constraints
42
Q

DCD =

A

developmental coordination disorder

43
Q

Study about individuals with DCD found…

A
  • difficulty controlling the movements of the limbs
  • poor sense of where limbs are in space; will move them independently
  • aren’t coordinating movements across joints as effectively
  • poor performers in a catching task
44
Q

PAP =

A

perception-action perspective

45
Q

In PAP, 2 characteristics of person-environment system for catching involve constant patterns of change:

A
  • invariants

- expanding optical array

46
Q

Invariants:

A

stable patterns

47
Q

Expanding optical array:

A

visual pattern that expands or constricts on the retina

48
Q

Invariance in moving sideways was investigated through…

A

the constant bearing angle strategy

49
Q

How do children learn to arrive at the right place?

A
  • might learn that ratio is zero when they stand still and catch a ball
  • eventually learn to move to keep the ratio at zero
  • parents, teachers, coaches can manipulate information constraints during exploratory practice
50
Q

______ is important in learning to move to catch.

A

experience

51
