Kinesiology & Motor Learning
The study of human movement
What is Kinesiology?
Goals that are measurable, specific, action-oriented, realistic, and time-bound.
What type of motor skills are performed in a dynamic, unpredictable environment?
What are open skills?
Is there body transport?
What is one of the questions needs to use Gentile's taxonomy?
Directing performers' attention to a specific element of the skill that can be used while they are performing.
What is attentional cueing
The process of organizing the degrees of freedom into an efficient movement pattern.
What is coordination?
The study of human movement
What is kinesiology?
The study of the processes by which we acquire and refine motor skills
What is motor learning?
A plan that details what actions you will take to achieve your short-term goal.
What is an action plan?
A type of motor skill that has no stated/specific beginning or end.
What is a continuous motor skill?
The handling of the ball when throwing.
What is object manipulation?
Part-practice methods are LEAST appropriate for most motor skills that have relatively low task complexity and _____?
What is high task organization?
an abstract representation of a movement plan that contains ALL the information needed to execute a motor task.
What is a motor program
The act that the practice of a movement or skill with one limb enhances performance in the other limb is a phenomenon called ____.
What is bilateral transfer?
The study of the neurological and muscular activation and regulation of motor skills
What is motor control?
I will return limit my backswing to 90 degrees on 85% of my short shots by Oct. 30. I will do this by practicing that for 20 minutes 3 days a week
What is a SMART process goal?
Genetic traits that underlie people's potential for motor skill proficiency.
What are abilties?
Environmental factors that stipulate the movement characteristics necessary for successful performance.
What are regulatory conditions?
The part practice technique in which the elements of a motor skill are separated.
What is segmentation?
Overall force, overall timing, movement direction, & muscle section.
What are parameters of a GMP
The control system used when executing fast, discrete motor skills for which the information inherent in the movement comes too late to be used to modify the motor program.
What is open-loop
We use this to infer the learning of motor skills
What is performance?
The first step in the integrative model for facilitating learning.
What is determine the intended outcome
The criteria used to determine if an act or task is a motor skill.
What are goal-oriented, physical movement, voluntary, and acquired with practice?
16
What category number represents the most complex motor skill?
Using a batting tee to reduce the complexity of the environment is an example of this part-practice technique.
What is simplification
An abstract representation of the rules that govern movement.
What is schema
This schema is used when organizing the motor program to begin and control the desired outcome.
What is recall schema
A relatively permanent change in one's capability to execute a motor skill due to practice.
What is learning
Three elements of the situation profile that need to be considered when teaching motor skills.
What are the learner, the environment, and the task?
The hypothesis that states that abilities are independent of each other.
What is the specificity hypothesis?
Bowling because even though the regulatory conditions are stationary, how the bowler approach the next attempts depends what pins remain standing.
What is an example of a motor skill with intertrial variability?
The speed-accuracy tradeoff (Fitts Law) applies to motor skills requiring what type of accuracy?
What is spatial?
The fact that the percentage of time spent in the stance and swing phase when walking regardless of speed is evidence of this invariant feature.
What is relative Timing?
The two bits of information we subconsciously abstract for each movement attempt.
What are the initial conditions and response specifications?
