Claissification of Tasks

Question 1

Performed in a predictable and stable environment. Movements can be planned in advance. (e.g. oral care, signing a check, bowling)

Answer 1

Closed Tasks

Question 2

An individual must deal with environmental conditions that are in motion during activity performance; the motion is consistent and predictable between trials (e.g. stepping onto an escalator, assembly line work, retrieving luggage from an airport baggage carousel)

Answer 2

Consistent Motion Tasks

Question 3

Tasks with a recognizable beginning and end (e.g. kick a ball, push a button)

Answer 3

Discrete Tasks

Question 4

Comprised of a series of movements linked together to make a “whole” (e.g. Play an instrument, dressing, light a fireplace)

Answer 4

Serial Tasks

Question 5

Involve interacting with a stable and predictable environment, but specific features of the environment are likely to vary between performance trials (e.g. performance of ADL outside of the usual home environment)

Answer 5

Variable Motionless Tasks

Question 6

Performed in a constantly changing environment that may be unpredictable (e.g. driving in traffic, catching an insect, soccer)

Answer 6

Open Tasks

Question 7

There is no recognizable beginning and end. Tasks are performed untily they are arbitrarily stopped. (e.g. joigging, drivving, swimming)

Answer 7

Continuous Tasks
