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
