FINAL Flashcards
Motor Skill in relation to knowledge base?
The greater the motor skill, the greater your knowledge of the skill must be.
Learning new tasks
Young adults have a faster rate of learning than children or older adults.
Stimulus response compatibility
Whatever the stimulus is compatibility or appropriate to the response, reaction time is increased.
Sensation and perception
Sensation::the neural activity triggered by a stimulus that activates a sensory receptor and results in sensory nerve impulses traveling the sensory nerve pathways to the brain.
Perception:: a multistage process that takes place in the brain and includes selecting,processing, organizing, and integrating information received from the senses.
Motor development and cognitive relationships is related because?
Cognitive takes place during movement, cognitive delay most often means motor delay.
Self produced locomotion
We in order to move around our environment must perceive our environment. The only way to become more proficient at something is to do it. ~babies and heights~
Dynamic Balance
Balancing while moving.
The two things negotiated while moving?
Support service and gravity
Aerobic/Anerobic training in children
Potentially effective, we don’t know exactly how effective because are they growing due to growth or due to training?
Body scaling
Changing the object to better suit individuals application of affordances, and create a better learning environment.
Balance and childhood
Do not recover the way adults do, upper leg movement adjustment rather than lower. Children rely more on vision than kinethetic while balancing.
Retinal disparity and depth perception
Depth Perception::: the ability to see how far or close and object is. Able to do it due to structural constraint of RETINAL DISPARITY::: which puts the sight of both eyes together in order to see depth.
Significant others and the socialization of children
Parents:: push kids to play what they played. Dads have a stronger impact on sons, as moms with daughters. Perpetuate gender roles.
Siblings::: first peer group. Usually just reinforces what the parents say or did.
Friends::: throughout life, very influential, children may follow friends into certain sports.
Teachers and coaches:: potential to make you love or hate a sport.
