Questions and Answers

What is the general finding regarding children who tend to "twitch" more in school?

  • They are more complacent in school.
  • They tend to perform poorly academically.
  • They tend to perform better academically than their peers. (correct)
  • They have learning problems.

    • Perceptual motor programs are seen as a "cure all" to learning problems.

    False

    What is the name of the physical activity intervention studied by Dr. Keiver and the question author?

    Study Notes

    Motor Skill Areas

    • The unit covers 9 motor skill areas: Jumping, Over-arm Throwing, Kicking, Hopping, Galloping, Skipping, and Gliding, Over-arm Striking, Catching, Walking, and Running

    Researching Motor Skills

    • Choose a motor skill and research it using the textbook as a guide, supplemented with additional sources if possible
    • Post information on the following aspects of the motor skill:
      • Early Characteristics of the Motor Skill
      • Proficient Characteristics of the Skill
      • Developmental Changes (including changes with the aging process)
      • Rate Controllers throughout Skill Development

    Reversion

    • Reversion or regression refers to the pattern where an infant reverts back to a movement pattern previously outgrown, such as bilateral, unilateral, bilateral, cross-lateral

    Maturationists Perspective

    • Maturationists, such as Gesell and Ames, and Shirley and Bayley, believe that motor milestones are dependent on the brain's development

    Dynamic Systems Perspective

    • Locomotor development depends on the development of the body's systems, the task, and the environment in which the task is attempted
    • All these factors are dependent on the slowest bodily system to develop or the rate controller

    Walking Development

    • Walking development depends on muscle strength and balance
    • Muscle strength in the trunk and leg extensors is necessary for upright posture
    • Balance is necessary when shifting weight from one leg to another
    • Thelen's research found that there are two rate controlling factors for walking: muscle strength and balance

    Manipulative or Manual Control Movements

    • The ability to manipulate items evolves through a series of stages
    • Reaching is a stage that develops through a series of stages, including prereaching, where the infant makes motions towards an object without making contact

    Contemporary Perceptual Motor Programs

    • Research has shown a connection between physical activity and cognition, particularly in children with neurodevelopmental delays
    • Exercise and motor activity have been found to improve cognitive outcomes in children with ADHD, ASD, and FASD
