Unit 1 Flashcards
What is motor development
process through which we pass during the course of our life
3 points to why we study children
We used to but not anymore (Piaget)
- More interesting
- Childhood is fundamental
- Stigma of studying older people
What are the other possible areas of confusion with motor development
Motor behavior
Motor Learning
Motor control
What are the 4 domains (Bloom) and what does each represent
- Cognitive - brain
- Affective - emotions/social
- Motor (psychomotor) - movement
- Physical - changes in the body (bloom does not include)
What does Motor Control focus on
the neurophysiological function of our physiology
e.g. reaction time
What does Motor Learning focus on
Cognitive aspect of learning a motor skill
For each domain, name a expert in that field
Cognitive = Piaget Affective = Erikson Physical = Tanner, Malina
Why do we study motor development
Human development is multifaceted
Can diagnose medically, intervene or remediate
Name the elements of developmental change
SIM DC QQ
Sequential - job before you leap
Individual - bens walk
Multi factorial - no single factor directs change
Directional - ultimate goal
Cumulative - behaviors are addictive
Qualitative
Quantitative
What does development mean
3 points
- The change in the human being
- Includes both growth and maturation
- The changes we experience with time
Maturation is…
Qualitative = functional
Growth is…
Quantitative = structural
Product vs Process
Product = looking at the end result
Process = technique
Which one of product and process make us feel successful
Product
What current trends are there
Obesity
Aging population
Inactivity
What is the Interdisciplinary approach
The interactions among the subdisciplines of kinesiology
What are the 4 Developmental directions
Cephalocaudal
Proximodistal
Differentiation
Intergration
What does cephalocaudal mean
From head to toe
What does Proximodistal mean
From points close to the bodys center to points close to the periphery
What does differentiation mean
progression from gross, immature movement to precise, well controlled, intentional movements
What does integration involve
Coordination
What does reciprocal interweaving
Giving back to
What is gross movement
movement controlled by the large muscles
What is fine movement
movement controlled by the small muscles
What type of movement allows for perfection
Fine movements
Do movements have components of both types
Yes
What are the stages of Gallahues model
- infant reflexes
- Rudimentary movement
- Fundamental movement
- General movement
- Specific movement
- Specialised movement
What are some criticisms of Gallahues model
Gross movement only
Ages vary in reality
Not all achieve all levels
What are infant reflexes controlled by
Subcortical = CNS
What are some sociocultural factors that may affect our motor development
