Document Summary

Progression is typical, happens at diff rates but typical progression. 1: learning = specific to individuals as people undergo motor development, they explore things and begin practice routines which leads to motor control duality btwn what is common in everyone or what is specific to individuals. 2: development is naturally occurring process, learning is external that an indiv must deliberately try to achieve. Growth is cellular but development is organizational. Diff btwn child and adult: adult adds other movements like a run-up for momentum, less disruption of balance, better follow through, he starts to integrate more body parts into the throwing movement than a child. What the mature subject is doing is release more degrees of freedom bringing more limbs and body parts into competing the task and doing it in a coordinated and efficient way. Young child freezes degrees of freedom and makes the task simpler by locking everything that she doesn"t absolutely need to perform the task.
