Study Notes
Motor Behavior
- Defined as the human movement system's response to both internal and external stimuli.
- Encompasses all forms of movement and how they are affected by various factors.
Motor Control
- Ability to initiate and adjust purposeful movements.
- Relies on the central nervous system's capability to assimilate and integrate sensory information.
- Uses past experiences to refine movement patterns and improve coordination.
Motor Learning
- Involves processes that enhance skill performance through practice and experience.
- Results in relatively permanent changes in one's ability to execute skilled movements.
- Key for developing expertise in various activities and sports.
Motor Development
- Represents changes in motor behavior over a person's lifetime.
