Fundamental Concepts in Motor Development 2 Flashcards
in the basketball example, what factors fall under individual constraints - structural
- Strength
- Soreness
- Body mass
- Reflexes/hand eye coordination (could also be psychological maybe?
- Arm length
- Shoulder mobility
in the basketball example, what factors fall under individual constraints - functional
- stress
- Determination
- Confidence
- Anger
- Anxiety
in the basketball example, what factors fall under environmental constraints
- crowd cheering
- Temperature
- Sun in eyes
- Gravity
- Floor textures
- Fit of gloves
- Weight of bat
- Other team (can be multiple categories)
in the basketball example, what factors fall under task constraints
- Hit the ball within lines
- Where we are at with the count
- Can’t foul the ball
- Count/number of strikes
- Reach all bases
- Amount of time
in the snowboard example, what factors fall under individual functional constraints
- Anger
- Hangry
- Motivation
- Fear
in the snowboard example, what factors fall under individual structural constraints
- Weak legs
- Low centre of gravity
- Muscles during balance
in the snowboard example, what factors fall under environmental constraints
- Weather conditions
- Snowy or icy slopes
- Size of board
- Other people on hill
- Snow suit
in the snowboard example, what factors fall under task constraints
- Stay standing
- Stay in your lane
- Don’t go out of bounds
in the basketball example, what factors fall under individual structural constraints
- Wingspan
- Height
- Hand size
- Injury
in the basketball example, what factors fall under individual functional constraints
- Mental fatigue
- Anxiety
- Determination
- Pressure
in the basketball example, what factors fall under environmental constraints
- Slippery floor
- Loud crowd
- Bright lights
in the basketball example, what factors fall under task constraints
- Score
- Shot clock
- Have to dribble the ball
- Role on team
- Stay within court violations
to understand the basics of constraints, we can explain concepts using _
typical motor development
We use examples that describe what we might expect in people
with average individual constraints:
(strength, height,
motivation), who move in typical environments (gyms, soccerfields, grocery stores), and who perform typical tasks (sports,activities of daily living)
- motor development on average
people can develop in many different ways:
People can have advanced or delayed development. When we discuss constraints and atypical development, we focus on delayed and individuals with disabilities.
define developmental trajectory
is the course of a behavior over age or time
define arrested development
is a failure to develop beyond a particular point of development
what 3 ways can you study developmental change?
longitudinal, cross-sectional and sequential research study
define longitudinal research study
where the same individual (s) are observed performing the same task on numerous occasions over a long period of time
define cross-sectional research study
when developmental change is inferred by observing individuals at one point in time (with different age groups)
define sequential research study
includes an element of both longitudinal research and cross-sectional research (includes participants in different ages)
define cohort
is a group whose members share a common characteristic, such as age or experience
the study is developmental if:
the design is longitudinal, cross-sectional (with different age groups) or sequential. A study that focuses on one age group at one time point
out of these examples, which is developmental?
a) competitive athletes longitudinal return to sport study
b) comuter use, sleep duration and health symptoms, cross sectional with 15 year olds
c) low back pain in 17 years olds, cross sectional
d) 10 year outcomes of behavioural family-based treatment of childhood obesity
a) developmental
b) not developmental (no follow up, no varying ages)
c) not developmental (same age, no follow up)
d) is developmental (follow up)
define meta-analyses
pools results (statistics) from different primary sources to compile and show main themes
define scoping review
takes the scope of an area and compiles main themes
*a little philosophical in nature
*compiles main themes together
*may have conflicting evidence so takes a scope of the area where they say the pros/cons
define systematic review
summary of all the literature on a particular topic, that meets the researcher’s eligibility criteria
*less stats heavy than metaanalysis
summary of all effects of x on y in a topic
