Study Notes
Motor Control and Posture
- The nervous system coordinates posture and movement through the collaboration of various body systems.
- Controlled mobility, or dynamic postural control, refers to maintaining stability while moving or transitioning between positions.
Stages and Theories of Motor Control
- The initial stimulus's underlying meaning is interpreted during the cognitive stage of motor control.
- The theory that focuses on sensory processing for error detection and correction is known as the sensory-motor theory.
- The OPTIMAL theory of motor learning emphasizes motivation and attention to the task for improving motor performance.
- The three stages of motor learning are cognitive, associative, and autonomous stages.
- The generalized motor program theory posits that motor actions can become more subconscious through practice.
Task Classifications
- Discrete tasks have a clear beginning and end, while continuous tasks do not have definitive beginnings or endings.
- Open motor skills are characterized by changing environments, whereas closed motor skills occur in predictable settings.
- Gentile’s Taxonomy provides a framework for understanding the variations in task characteristics and movement demands.
Age-Related Motor Development
- Hand-eye coordination refinement and adaptability to environmental demands occur in early childhood.
- A 10-15% decline in muscle mass per decade is observed in older adults, usually starting around age 30.
- Sarcopenia, or age-related muscle decline, commonly begins in the 50s.
Memory Types
- Declarative memory involves the ability to express processes verbally and recall facts or sequences.
- Procedural memory encompasses subconscious, reflexive learning often referred to as 'autopilot' learning.
Reflexes and Skill Development
- The palmar grasp reflex typically disappears around 4 months of age in infants.
- Motor skills, particularly gross motor skills, typically develop in children aged 5-6 years, focusing on large muscle group activities.
Learning Styles and Theories
- Experiential learning focuses on real-world examples and personal experiences to enhance understanding.
- The motivation and attention necessary for performing tasks is emphasized in motor learning theories associated with performance improvement.
Summary of Motor Skills Focus
- Fine motor skills center on precision and control, utilizing smaller muscle groups.
- Gross motor skills emphasize larger movements and coordination.
- The main focus of closed motor skills is achieving consistent performance in stable environments.
Interaction Constructs
- Interaction constructs affecting movement include distractions in the environment, firmness of surfaces, and lighting conditions.
