September 7th – Intro to Motor Performance and Learning
What is a motor behavior?
• The study of changes
What is motor learning or skill acquisition?
• The gain of a relatively permanent change in movement behavior as a

What is motor control or skill performance?
• The study of posture and movement and the underlying mechanisms

o Preforming a specific task to complete a goal
• Voluntary
o Winking

o You need practice before can acquire that skill
• Not reflexes because you can not control that
What is the situation-based approach to skill performance and learning?
• Incorporates and understands the role of the person, task and the
environment into developing a skill
What are the 3 types of constraints to consider when developing a skill?
• Individual constraints
• Task constraints
• Environmental constraints
