Motor Development Test (Ch 1-6)

1. How our neuromuscular system functions to activate & coordinate the muscles & limbs involved in a motor skill.

The process of learning & improving motor skills. You can only learn concepts that you are taught. The only 2 motor skills that you don't have to be taught to do due to maturation are running and walking

The study of changes in human motor behavior over the lifespan, the process that underlies these changes, and the factors that affect them; field of study;

Cognitive
Affective
Psychomotor (Motor)
Fitness (Physical)

The domain of learning that primarily engages the intellect to understand and apply concepts, like in Bloom's Taxonomy.

All 3 (motor control, development, & learning) are connected with a new emphasis on biomechanics and exercise physiology

The domain of learning that primariy engages emotional factors and attitudes, socialization, values, etc

Developments of human movement and factors that affect that development

All physical/bodily changes that occur

A quantitative structural change that occurs with age (physical size)

Refers to the progressions and regressions that occur throughout life (INCLUDES maturation & growth)

Qualitative functional changes in organs and tissues

Activities that go along with the development of a child

An interactional process that leads to changes in behavior over a lifespan.

Sequential, Cumulative, Directional, Individual, & Multifactorial
