Document Summary
Motor development is continuous, sequential, age related process. Look at motor skils when associated with these time frames and when they are mastered. Aging- regressing to basic survival skills, bodily adaptations to aging process. Study of internal processes associated with movement or repetitive action that result in changes in response and performance. Movement is produced by the nervous system. Movement patterns are unique to an individual"s motor pattern. We learn how to affect the nervous system"s reaction. Skill- a movement that is dependent on practice and experience for its execution. To assist in skill mastery we determine: Under what conditions is skill learned or not learned. *refer to handout sheet for definitions and skill conditions* Gross- larger muscles (riding bike, jumping, hopping, skills) Closed skills- stable/predictable and self-paced (bowling, golfing) Manipulative- football-> break plane of body and move forward (stationary or while moving) Perceptual motor- eye-hand-coordination, spatial awareness, many skills at once.
