Fauget High School LEVELS OF COMMUNICATION: Teacher Claudia's English Class

Levels of Communication

• Intrapersonal communication occurs in one's own mind, influencing feelings, biases, and beliefs, and is involved in decision-making and thinking about others.
• Interpersonal communication involves two or more people, such as friends, a teacher and student, or a doctor and patient, and can be informal or formal.
• Small group discussion is communication within formal or informal groups or teams, leading to decision-making, problem-solving, and discussion, such as a group planning a surprise party or a team working on a project.
• One-to-group communication involves a speaker informing, persuading, or motivating an audience, such as a teacher and students, a preacher and congregation, or a speaker and assembly.
• Mass communication involves the electronic or print transmission of messages to the general public through outlets like radio, TV, film, and printed materials.

Motor Learning and Control

• Motor learning is a set of processes aimed at achieving specific learning objectives, leading to permanent motor behavioral habits through proper training.
• Once learned, motor skills are relatively permanent and difficult to change.
• Motor learning is not value-free and can lead to the formation of bad habits.
• Motor behavior is the study of executed human performances and postures resulting from integrated internal processes.
• Motor control is the study of how individuals execute motor skills through neuromuscular control in response to environmental demands.

Motor Control Functions

• Motor control allows the nervous system to direct muscles, sequence, and speed to solve movement problems.
• Motor control involves information processing, attention, and interferences, as well as mechanisms of muscular coordination and sensory contributions to motor performance.

Skills Acquisition and Development

• Skills acquisition is the process of acquiring a skill through practice and assimilation, refining and automatizing the desired movement.
• Motor learning is a multifaceted internal process that effects a relatively permanent change in human performance through practice.
• The main objective of motor learning is to make a permanent change in neurological functions in the brain.
• Fundamental movement skills include creeping, crawling, rolling, balancing, walking, kicking, throwing, catching, walking, running, hopping, leaping, skipping, and sliding.
