Document Summary
Chapter 1: part i: intro to motor development. Development: defined by several characteristics: 1. Continually changing over time throughout the lifetime: 2. We expect certain things to happen at certain ages: 3. Series of changes that tend to happen in a certain order. Changes happen within the individual & btwn the individual and environment. Our genetics, our environment, our growth, physical structure, in the way we interact with other people, our endocrine system changes the hormones and the amount that are given out. Motor development: development of skills across life span, movement abilities: developmental changes in mvmt & factors underlying those changes, ex. A tennis teacher elicits a change in a student"s forehead stroke by changing the student"s grip on the racket, we don"t view the change as motor development rather as motor learning. Motor learning: skills, learning over life span: movement changes that are relatively permanent but related to experience or practice rather than age.
