HMB200H1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Striatum, Motor Planning, Motor Skill
Document Summary
Cv + muscular endurance, flexibility much lower in visually impaired, better if loss happened later in life, segregated enviro better for physical fitness and psychomotor skills, decreases fitness level b/c restrictions from parents and less opportunities. #/# - first number in what you can read at x feet and second is normal can read at x feet. Motor performance is lower than normal, ppl with partial sight do better than fully impaired. Motor dvlpmt is behind b/c must rely on auditory cues for discovery and growth. Motor skill performance in interaction b/w child (predisposition + impairments), environment (opportunities + barriers), and task characteristics increase strength, posture, spatial awareness and kinaesthetic sense, and self confidence. Can"t establish pattern b/w level of impairment and balance, locomotor skills, or object skills. Can"t establish pattern b/w age of impairment, gender, personality and ability level. Need more research b/c not enough evidence to create reliable correlations.
