Motor Skills Flashcards
What is a complex response of a dynamic system that allows us to respond appropriately to different systems and demands?
- Movement
What are the 3 kind of constraints that impact responses?
- Performer Constraint
- Environmental Constraint
- Task Constraints
Describe Performer Constraints
- Maturation Level
- Physical Ability
Describe Environmental Constraints
- Physical Environment
- Weather Conditions
Describe Task Constraints
- Rules of the Game
- Student’s understanding of task
- Equipment
What can be manipulated by the teacher to elicit appropriate responses?
- Task Constraints
Describe Teaching Games for Understanding
- Setting Task in game like environment to elicit a skill
How might a teacher alter the task constraints?
- Change equipment
- Change rules
Give an example of when a task constraint might be the reason for an inappropriate response
- Ask for mature overhand serve when students are too close
What are the prerequisites to learning a motor skill?
- Mastery of an earlier skill
- Physical Ability
- Maturation
Describe a clear idea of a task
- What student think they are meant to do = what they are trying to do
Describe motivation/attention of learning a motor skill
- Active engagement in the process
Describe the practice of a motor skill
- Increased consistency of performance
Describe the two types of feedback for motor skill development
- Knowledge of Result (KR)
- Knowledge of Performance (KP)
What are the different types of skills?
- Open or Closed
- Discrete, Continuous, or Serial
Describe Open Skills
- Externally Paced
- Regulated by Variables
What are the implications of teaching Open Skills?
- Gradually add the conditions under wich skill will be performed
What are some examples of a Open Skills?
- Volleybal Forearm Pass
- Basketball Set Shot
Describe Closed Skills
- Self Paced
- Body and Object begin at rest
What are the teaching implications of a Closed Skill?
- Require consistency
- Stable Practice Conditions
What are some examples of a Closed Skill?
- Volleyball Serve
- Archery
