Dynamic Systems Theory
The Dynamic Systems Theory believes that movement emerges through the interaction of these three systems...
In this type of practice, activities have been specially designed to improve the current level of performance...
Deliberate Practice
TRUE OR FALSE- Any movement pattern generated by children at the early stage is acceptable
TRUE
This term is the ability to regulate or direct the mechanisms essential to movement...
Motor Control
What are some examples of physical/ sensory characteristics of the environment that could be modified by a therapist in order to create a better "MATCH" for a client?
-noise levels, lighting, distractions, ETC
This term refers to aspects of the environment that determine movement specifics, such as force, timing, and distance or magnitude, for successful task outcomes...
Regulatory conditions
In this type of practice, a person practices varied tasks in a random order...
Random or Discrete Practice
The requirements for practice, feedback, the role of therapists, and the involvement of the learner should vary BASED on...
the level of skill a child has
The study of the movement processes associated with the practice, experience, motivation, reinforcement, motor skill, and developmental progress that lead to a relatively permanent change in children’s capabilities for skilled action...
What are some characteristics of a task that could be altered by a therapist to create a better "MATCH" for a client?
the size, shape, texture, pliability, and amount of visual contrast and detail, ETC
What are the two classifications of a task based on regulatory conditions...
In the early stages of learning, this type of feedback about performance is thought to be more helpful than feedback that is more specific and detailed...
“summary” feedback,
A specific task skill is developed during what stage of learning?
Later stages of learning
The study of how motor behavior changes over the life span...
Motor development
What are some cognitive aspects of the task that could be modified by a therapist to create a better "MATCH" for a client?
number of steps, whether problem solving is required, and information processing demands, ETC
The subsystems within the person, task, and environment that have a potential for change are the...
“control parameters”
At what stage of learning would a therapists use manual guidance?
Early Stages
This concept refers to the distance between the actual developmental level of children, what the children can achieve through independent problem solving, and the level of the children’s potential for achieving the tasks with adult assistance
Zone of Proximal Development
TRUE OR FALSE- Children’s motor skill development, control, and learning are improved when they engage in a repetitive, nonpurposeful activity or being passively moved by another person
FALSE
What are some examples of psychosocial demands of a specific task and environment that could be modified by a therapist for a better "MATCH" for the client?
Positive feedback, comfort level, emotional support
TRUE OR FALSE – The Dynamic Systems Theory views that problems in the central nervous system cause atypical motor behavior and development
FALSE
With increasing skill, children will use this type of feedback from their bodies to get information about the outcome and to help plan alternative strategies...
-Intrinsic Feedback
This term describes the adult support and instruction that is necessary to assist children to master skills that are just beyond their current capabilities...
"scaffolding”
What is the contemporary view of motor development?
recognizes that changes in motor skill results from the interaction multiple factors not following a rigid sequence based on the maturation of the central nervous system
What is Gianna and Morgans favorite color?
