week 6 Flashcards
control
assigning value to the coordination
*how much force you put into it
skill
optimal coordination and control for a given task
*optimal pattern, the way you throw
what do patterns emerge from?
interaction of constraints
what does coordinative structure define?
pattern
what does scaling up constraints to critical value cause?
change to new pattern
*things change as you get better
transition
in between two phases or patterns
qualitative, in terms of development of patterns
how the child performs skill or pattern (process)
*not looking at control/force, looking at pattern
quantitative, in terms of development of patterns
how much or the outcome of performance (product)
step
different patterns within skill
ex: different steps within pattern of throwing
stage
generalities of behavior observed across several behaviors
ex: stages of motor development
whole body
entire pattern of coordination described as one pattern
component
basic unit of description is each body component
cannot be assumed that each changes simultaneously with others
object projection skills
throwing
striking
kicking
organismic rate limiters of object reception
balance
strength
break up of stereotypical patterns
organize body parts into coordinative structures
control (timing)
flexibility (range of motion)
vision (eye-hand coordination)
fear
task rate limiters of object reception skills
size of ball
weight of ball
distance to throw
context/situation
speed of toss
ability to see toss
postural requirements of task
