10 Questions
What is the general finding regarding children who tend to "twitch" more in school?
They tend to perform better academically than their peers.
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?
FAST Club
Research has shown that exercise increases the production of a brain protein known as _________________, which is instrumental in an efficiently functioning nervous system.
brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)
Match the following terms with their corresponding definitions:
Spatial Orientation = The ability to process and understand visual information. Movement Perception = The ability to perceive and understand movement. Cognitive Processing = The ability to think, reason, and solve problems. Executive Functioning = The ability to plan, organize, and execute tasks. Self-Regulation = The ability to control and regulate one's behavior.
What is the name of the test used to measure executive function in children with FASD in the study by Dr. Keiver and the question author?
Children's Color Trails Test (CCTT)
The study by Dr. Keiver and the question author found that the improvement in executive function in children with FASD was not maintained in follow-up assessments.
False
What is the condition studied by Dr. Keiver and the question author in relation to the impact of exercise and motor activity on cognitive outcomes?
Neurodevelopmental delays, specifically ADHD, ASD, and FASD.
The research by Dr. Keiver and the question author was supported by the work of researchers in the field of _________________, who study the impact of exercise on brain proteins.
neuroscience
Perceptual motor programs are no longer seen as a promising approach to learning remediation.
False
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
This quiz covers chapters 5-7 (7th ed.) or 7-9 (6th ed.) of the Haywood textbook, focusing on 9 motor skill areas. It's a collaborative effort to divide and disseminate information among group members.
