Motor Learning/Development
When information goes from long-term memory to short-term memory or from permanent memory into the working memory.
What is "decoding"?
This a complex set of internal and external forces that influence individuals to behave in certain ways.
What is motivation?
Bodies, masses, and forces at rest or moving at a constant velocity
What is Statics?
The study of the structure and function of the central and peripheral nervous systems.
What is neuroanatomy?
Division 47 of the APA officially changed its name to the Society for Sport, Exercise, and Performance Psychology in this year.
What is 2015?
Individuals who believe that the chief principle of developmental change in an individual is maturation.
Maturational Theorists
Enduring and consistent internal attributes that an individual possesses and exhibits.
What are traits?
The most commonly used spatial reference system.
What is the Cartesian Coordinate System?
A region of the cerebral cortex involved in the planning, control, and execution of voluntary motor functions.
What is the motor cortex?
Giovanni Alphonso Borelli published De Moti Animalium.
What is 1679?
This theory suggests that individuals do not receive feedback from the joints, proprioceptors, and muscles of the body during movement and that body movements are completely preplanned prior to the initiation of the movement.
What is the open-loop system theory?
In 1884 he published what is considered to be the first article related to psychology and exercise
Who is Conrad Rieger?
Considered "the father of biomechanics."
Who is/was Giovanni Alphonso Borelli?
Nervous structures in the body that are responsible for sensing body position.
What are proprioceptors?
What is 1960?
The interference that results from practicing several different tasks within the context of a single practice session
What is contextual interference?
Likely the first sports psychologist.
Who is Coleman R. Griffith?
A point around which the body's weight is equally balanced, regardless of how the body is positioned.
What is Center of Gravity?
This theory suggests that all the possible factors that may be in operation at any given developmental moment must be considered at that specific moment in time
What is Dynamic Systems Theory?
The first year that the the Journal of Applied Biomechanics was published.
What is 1985?
A process that requires an individual to actively choose one unit of information to pay attention to at a time.
What is selective attention?
This hypothesis states that as arousal increases from low to moderate levels, there is an increase in skill performance but as arousal continues to increase, there is a point when performance begins to decline.
What is the Inverted U Hypothesis?
Central imaginary lines about which angular motion occurs.
What is Axis of Rotation?
By using external information, muscle activity can be altered during the performance of the movement to correct for changes that need to be made to successfully perform the movement or to respond to something in the external environment
What are the Closed Loop Theory?
In this year the North American Society for the Psychology of Sport and Physical Activity was founded.
What is 1967?
