Terms
A skill with no specific start or end point that includes repetitive, cyclic movement.
What is a continuous skill?
These are determined by the environment and specify movement characteristics needed for successful performance.
What are regulatory conditions?
Writing, buttoning clothing, and tying small knots are examples of ____ motor skills.
Create a positive external cue for a movement of choice relevant to your career.
These features include sequence of actions or components, relative timing and relative force.
What are invariant features?
_______ is visible and measurable, while learning is the underlying process of developing skill.
What is performance?
The ___-loop control system is characteristic of newer learners and involves a motor program executed without modification.
What is open-loop?
Perceptual motor abilities and physical performance abilities are subsets of these taxonomies.
Fleishman's taxonomies of individual abilities
Draw the Yerkes-Dodson Inverted U and identify zone of optimal performance. What could shift the curve? Consider individual traits and traits of tasks.
__________________________________________
These four components include: being goal-oriented, require body/limb movement, voluntary, and developed as a result of practice.
What are components of a motor skill?
A _____ is an individual constraint that slows emergence or performance of a motor skill.
What is a rate limiter?
This theory involves a hierarchical approach to categorizing motor learning and breaks movement down into invariant features and parameters.
What is the Generalized Motor Program Theory?
A) physically changing locations, and B) moving an external object are referred to as ____ and ____ respectively within Gentile's Multidimensional Classification system.
What are body movement and object manipulation?
Fovea centralis
This type of anticipation has to do with WHEN an event will occur.
A defender falls for a hip fake (false cue) from an opposing player. The subsequent delay in correct reaction is known as the _______ period.
What is psychological refractory period?
What are affordances?
Closed skills may include ___________, where conditions change across repetitions.
Provide 3 tips to lower arousal to a performer who is experiencing perceptual narrowing.

This concept may be tested in older adults by performing a gait test while counting backwards by 3s from 100. Consider attentional resources.
What is "dual-task" ability?
With practice, more of these become available increasing movement fluidity and efficiency.
What are degrees of freedom?
This law states that reaction time increases logarithmically with increased number of response choices.
What is Hick's Law?
A ____ attractor well involves a movement that is very well-trained, highly-engrained and hard to change.
What is a deep attractor well?
Bonus: an intervention strategy causes a phase shift and thus potential adjustment to movement pattern
