Evaluation of Motor Control and Motor Learning Flashcards
theory that was developed to describe how systems interact and how these interactions are responsible for motor performance
Dynamical System Theory
it describes as the tendency of the child to stay in the pattern of the status quo
Attractor state
it facilitates a child away from the attractor state
- a force that alters the movement participation
Perturbation
defined as the possible planes of motion in the joints that is controlled by the musculoskeletal and CNS
Degree of Freedom
A child learns movement more easily and effectively if (4):
- movement is taught as a whole
- movement is performed in variable situations
- child is allowed to actively problem-solve
- the activity is meaningful
This learning means that many systems are involved and interacts with each other in order to plan and execute movement
Whole Learning
What is the hallmark of functional movement
ability to respond to a variability in the system
this means that movement requires an ability to adapt to changes within and between systems
Variability
Children learn and retain motor skills more from ________ a motor action than from ________ during an action
intrinsically problem solving; receiving external feedback
______ is essential to practice and it acknowledge the benefits of purposeful activity in motivating clients to perform
Meaningfulness
3 Stages of the Development of motor skills
- Cognitive
- Associative
- Autonomous
Development of motor control involves an interaction among 3 processes
cognition
perception
action
it is the intent of the child’s motivation to move, plan the movement, cognitive process when it comes to deciding how to use an object
Cognition
how the child receives and makes sense of the stimulus
- how child give meaning to it
Perception
the process of moving when it comes to muscle contractions
Action
it refers to the skill acquisition stage
- where practice of new movements occur
- more errors occur
- trial and error, feedback and repetition is a must
Cognitive Stage
stage that involves skill refinement, increased performance and decrease errors.
-relates to past experience to present
Associative Stage
Stage where the learner retains the skills and can perform the movement functionally and skills can be transferred to different settings
Autonomous Stage
Two factors that affect motor performance
Socio-emotional factors
Physical factors
It is the psychological state that may affect motor performance
Emotion
The overall body equilibrium or stability
- described as the maintenance of center of mass over the base of support
balance
the alignment of body parts and involves the relationships among various segments of the body
Posture
3 systems involved in sensory organization and control of balance/posture
Vestibular
Proprioceptive
Visual
System that detects and interpret the ff:
- head in upright, midline alignment
- sense of balance
Vestibular
