Document Summary

You get knowledge from experience and the more knowledge you have, the better the motor skill. About the amount of motor programs you can store. Emphasizes the interaction between nurture and nature. These systems are: complex, nonlinear, self-organizing, emergent, resulting from multiple causes. Something that reduces choices and uncertainty to limit potential solutions to motor problems. Sometimes it has posititive effects and sometimes negative effects: can cause more difficulty to walk, for example- negative, can make it easier use a small ball that a kid can hold positive. 3 sources of constraints: organism, task, environment. All behaviors (voluntary and involtuanry) lead to motor behavior if you change one, then your motor behavior changes. Organism (individual) constraint: structural constraints, height, weight, (cid:374)euro(cid:374)s, (cid:373)us(cid:272)le size , functional constraints, cognitive, psychological, emotional, motoric, functions of the structural, blind person cant see, stronger than someone else cant produce great force.
