Study Notes
Motor Skills and Control
- Motor skill refers to the ability to perform a specific physical action with precision and accuracy.
Motor Information Transmission
- Motor information is carried from the brain to the peripheral nervous system through the efferent neurons.
Influences on Motor Performance
- According to the text, practice and other environmental factors influence motor performance.
Motor Learning
- The focus of motor learning is on the acquisition of new motor skills or the improvement of existing ones.
Motor Development
- Motor development primarily deals with the changes that occur in motor skills as individuals mature and develop.
- The primary focus of motor development is on the process of acquiring and refining motor skills.
Performance Environment
- An example of the performance environment affecting motor skill performance is the conditions under which the skill is performed.
Motor Control and Learning
- The primary difference between motor control and motor learning is that motor control refers to the ability to execute a skill, while motor learning involves the acquisition of new motor skills or the improvement of existing ones.
Hierarchical Theory of Motor Control
- According to the hierarchical theory of motor control, the increasing corticalization of the central nervous system (CNS) is attributed to the development of more complex motor skills.
- In normal development, according to the hierarchical theory, there is a shift from primitive reflexes to more complex voluntary movements.
Reflex Theory
- The reflex theory suggests that reflexes are the building blocks of complex behaviors, and that movement is controlled by a stimulus producing a response.
- According to the reflex theory, reflexes are the primary agent of change in development.
- Reflexes are considered as the building blocks of complex behaviors.
