Interactions Among Constraints

Question 1

What do the maturationalist focus on?

Answer 1

Focus on nervous system

Question 2

What do ecological perspective focus on?

Answer 2

Everything matters and everything changes

Question 3

What is the importance of the interaction among constraints?

Answer 3

All a aspects of development are influenced by multiple constraints at any pint in time
Encourages you to see each individual as unique
Informs the design and implementation of developmentally appropriate learning tasks
Everything matters
Constraints are not negative or bad

Question 4

How do constraints affect development?

Answer 4

One constraint may be more influential, all are present adn constantly interacting
If a constriant is changed , motor development changes
Maiinpulating constraints can be useful to promote movement and motor development
It will produce a functional change in movement

Question 5

What are the easiest constraints to manipulate?

Answer 5

Individual 
-Structural--> hard to change
-Fucntional --> possible  to change
Task 
-easiest to change
Environment
-Physical (some what easy)
-Sociocultural hard
Greatest modifications occur with rules and equipment

Question 6

How do teacher build lessons?

Answer 6

Build lessons on the model of constraints
Children change with growth and maturation
Growing students can vary greatly in physical attributes

Question 7

What is teh Ecological Task analysis?

Answer 7

Analysis of how particular task is accomplished focusing in critical components that influence movement
Emphasizes the interaction of environmental, tasks and individual constriants
Allows movement educators to create developmentally appropraite lessons
Evaluates movement based on a developmental continuum
Set up constraints to encourage proper movement

Question 8

How do you structure learning environment?

Answer 8

Keep in minf d the abilty to change constraints when you structure learning environments
How a child does a tsak depends on the goal of the task
Manipulate task goal is achieved without being conscious to the child

Question 9

What is the difference between traditional and ecological task analysis?

Answer 9

Coach compare movemtn patterns to correct form Traditional provides an error model
Traditional doesn’t account for individual differences or environmental or task constraints

Question 10

What are the 4 steps to creating an ecological task analysis?

Answer 10

Pick a skill ot task
Most important individual constraint
List environmental and task factors that interact with the individual constraints
Scaffold to create simple to complex
