Deliberate Practice

100

TRUE OR FALSE- Any movement pattern generated by children at the early stage is acceptable

TRUE

100

This term is the ability to regulate or direct the mechanisms essential to movement...

Motor Control

100

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

200

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  

200

In this type of practice, a person practices varied tasks in a random order...

Random or Discrete Practice

200

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 

200

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...

Motor learning
200

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

300

What are the two classifications of a task based on regulatory conditions...

  • Open Tasks or Closed tasks 
300

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,

300

A specific task skill is developed during what stage of learning?

Later stages of learning

300

The study of how motor behavior changes over the life span...

Motor development 

300

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

400

The subsystems within the person, task, and environment that have a potential for change are the...

“control parameters”

400

At what stage of learning would a therapists use manual guidance?

Early Stages

400

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

400

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

400

 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 

500

TRUE OR FALSE – The Dynamic Systems Theory views that problems in the central nervous system cause atypical motor behavior and development

FALSE

500

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

500

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”

500

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
