principles of motor development

Question 1

motor behavior

Answer 1

motor response to internal and external stimuli

Question 2

motor control

Answer 2

how the CNS integrates sensory information with previous experiences.

Question 3

motor learning

Answer 3

—integration of motor control processes through practice, leading to a relatively permanent
change to produce skilled movement

Question 4

motor development

Answer 4

the change in motor skill behavior over time throughout the lifespan.

Question 5

sensorimotor integration

Answer 5

—ability of the nervous system to gather and interpret information, and execute
the proper motor response

Question 6

muscle synergies

Answer 6

groups of muscles that are recruited by the CNS to provide movement.

Question 7

proprioception

Answer 7

cumulative sensory input from all mechanoreceptors that sense position and limb
movements

Question 8

feedback

Answer 8

—use of sensory information and sensorimotor integration to help the HMS in motor learning

Question 9

internal feedback

Answer 9

—sensory information is used by the body to reactively monitor movement and the
environment.

Question 10

external feedback

Answer 10

information provided by some external source (e.g., fitness professional, recording,
mirror, etc.).
