This was led by Gesell, who developed the co- twin experiment to support the notion that developmental change occurs due to a predetermined, preexisting genetic influence.
What is Maturational Perspective?
100
When one or more of an individual's system has declined, such as disease or injury, to a critical point, a change in behavior might occur.
What is a rate limiter?
100
In the co twin theory, the research did little to resolve the nature vs. nurture debate because of this detail in the study.
What is fraternal twins?
100
If a baseball coach elicits the change of the child’s hand position on a baseball bat from holding their hands apart to bringing them together in order to increase their performance is considered this.
What is motor learning?
100
These cells grow in both in diameter and length
What is muscle cell?
200
According to this theoretical approach, the process of motor learning and development is like a student inputting a homework question into Google, the computer then processes that question, and the output results in the answer or response.
What is Information Processing?
200
In this example, using a strung racket rather than a wood paddle changes the game played on a racquetball court.
What is task constraint?
200
This skill indicates that you are out of the pre- adaptive stage on the mountain of motor development.
What is independent walking?
200
Three constraints interacting interchangeably create a pattern of interactions of movement, which in turn leads to changes in motor development is this.
What is newell's model?
200
These type 1 muscle fibers are suited for this activity.
What is slow twitch & endurance?
300
This theoretical approach stresses that in order to reduce the number of decisions we make day in and day out, our muscles self- assemble into groups so the higher brain center will not burn out
What is Ecological Perspective?
300
Systems prefer a state of stability, which is very stable when deep but in stable when shallow is defined at this.
What is attractor states?
300
Basic locomotors, such as jumping, skipping, and throwing, start sometime after the onset of walking around seven years of age is this period for motor development.
What is fundamental motor skills?
300
The disadvantage of this study is that we never really observe change; we merely infer it from age group differences.
What is cross- sectional research study?
300
This hormone plays an indirect role in growth, which is vital for carbohydrate metabolism and stimulating transportation of glucose and amino acids through membranes.
What is insulin?
400
During this period, researchers focused on the outcome (success/failure) of development rather than on the developmental process that led to that outcome
What is Normative Descriptive Period?
400
Alternative to existing motor control and coordination theories, this theory explains that the structural organization of your body, such as the structure of hip your hip joints, encourages you to walk.
What is dynamical systems approach?
400
This period on the mountain of motor development distinguishes between the ability to throw a baseball vs. throwing a baseball at 90 mph, where not everyone will be able to reach this ability.
What is skillful?
400
The weight of a lineman would diminish their ability to sprint for a quick and long period of time, while the weight of a tight end would allow them to sprint at a faster and longer pace is an example of this.
What is structural constraint?
400
The process where this area of the brain becomes fully functional is gradual; however, PET determines that at 7-8 months there are adult levels of activity.
What is frontal cortex?
500
Described by the term affordance, a child's perceptual system and motor system are interrelated allowing a child to understand a baseball bat would not allow them to produce the movement.
What is Perception- Action?
500
If a researcher described the motor development of a child by saying “he was trained that way”, this would support what side of the debate.
What is nurture?
500
In this example, teens who cannot drive can statistically drive better than compared to the older generations because of the use of video games.
What is cohort?
500
The practice of foot binding that occurred in China, where the foot would be broken to reduce the size of it would be an example of this, which would affect the motor development in walking for women.
What is sociocultural environment?
500
During growth, the distribution of fat changes and this type decreases until age 6 or 7 while internal fat increases faster during childhood.
