Document Summary

Change in movement behaviour: continuous (although at various rates) Rate at which we change isn"t a linear curve (change more at a younger age: age related (not dependent, sequential (one step leads to another) Motor development: process of change in movement along with the constraints/factors that drive these changes. No changes in grip or surface changes are not indicative in underlying motor development. This change in grip would be indicative of motor learning not development: constraints is the key term that will come up a lot in this lecture. Motor learning: relatively permanent gains in motor skill capability associated with practice or experience (e. g. , tennis practice) Maximizing our ability to learn in an efficient manner. Motor control: the neural, physical, and behavioural aspects of movement: more about the underlying systems involved rather than the observable outcomes. Physical growth: quantitative increase in size or mass.
