Compare motor learning and motor control.
|
Motor Learning is the study of the acquisition and/or modification of a skill. It is a set of internal processes that lead to a relatively permanent change in the leaner's capacity for skiller performance.Motor Control is the study of the ability to regulate/direct the mechanisms essential to movement.Physiological approach = focusing on movements already learned.Cognitive approach = focusing on learning new movements.

|
What is the criteria a task must meet if it is to be classified as a skill?
|
Skill = an action or task that has a specific goal to achieve.Criteria:- must be learned- performed voluntarily- have a goal- requires body/limb
|
|
Three motor skill classification systems.
|
- Fine and Gross - Open and Closed - Discrete and Continuous
|
|
Explain how Gentile's taxonomy differs from other classification systems and the significance of the difference.
|
- Provides a functional guide for professionals- Provides a systematic evaluation guide- Provides a basis on selecting functionally appropriate activities.

|
Compare and contrast three ways to assess motor learning.
|
Performance curves = - linear (performance increases over time)- negatively accelerated (improvement early, less improvement later) = most common- positively accelerated (less early, more later) usually relearning. Retention test = determine if achieved acquistion was due to learning, if it it durable, after disuse, it will be performed again. Tranfer test =tests the adaptability of performance.
|
|
Describe the ceiling and floor effects.
|
Celing = if tasks are easy to learn, the range of potential improvement is restrictedFloor = if tasks are too difficult learning may never be recorded.
|
|
Describe the amount of practice duration needed to become an expert.
