Introduction motor control and learning Flashcards
Charles Sherrington ______
Was a neurophysiologist who studied spinal reflexes
These are ways of classifying motor skills
open versus closed
the three stages of learning are called
cognitive, fixation (associative), autonomous
Motor control is an area of study with
neural, physical, and behavioral aspects of movement
Motor learning study focuses on
on the acquisition of motor skills as a result of practice
Motor development is an area of study concerning changes in motor behavior as a result of
growth, maturation, and experience
Sir Charles Sherrington brought the concept
proprioception
neurophysiology brought
neuron process associated with movement
franklin henry studied
gross motor skills and trained RA schmidt
since 1970s 2 theories were brought
adams closed loop theory
schema theory
Classification of motor skills
discrete:
well defined beginning an and; action is usually brief
jumping
catching a ball
Classification of motor skills
Serial:
Several discrete actions combined to a sequence
dance routine
long jump
Classification of motor skills
Continuous
No recognizable beginning or end, often repetitive activity
swimming
running
