lecture 28 Flashcards
four periods in the study of motor development
presursor
maturational period
normative/descriptive period
process-orientated period
precursor period
1787-1928
single child biographies, focus on product of development.
maturational period
1928-1946
studies involved multiple children
rate and order of development questioned
normative/descriptive period
1946-1970
motor development now seperated from cognitive develpoment. signifigant research in this period were Physical educators
process-orieted period
1970-present
most rapid growth in knowledge about sport development
study the influence of processess including memory, feedbakc and perception on chnages to motor behaviour.
shift from information processing approach to dynamical systems approach
maturation
refers to timeline of development of organ system, physical structures and motor capabilities.
when does developing start
once conceived
cephalocaudal
we learn head to feet.
proximodistal
we learn inside out.
how many periods/stages of lifespan development
5
how many phases in the developmental continuum
7
what is the infancy (0-2yrs) stage of development.
survival oriented. signifignat sensory, neuromuscular, cardiopulmonary development and symbolic thought.
childhood - two main stages
explore physical and social environements.
early childhood (2-6) - FMS, perceptual motor awareness and self care.
late childhood - (6-12) refine FMS into sport skills, growth slows.
associations between play and function develop. practice and motivation to excel enable learning.
adolescence
12-18 yrs
developing independence and idendity. accerlerated growth.
adulthood / elderly
changing societal roles. reduced PA and therefor levels of fitness
