Study Notes
- Motor behavior is the study of human movement and behavioral changes, incorporating knowledge from neurophysiology and psychology.
Goals of Motor Behavior
- Understanding how motor skills are learned, including feedback, practice, and response selection/execution.
- Understanding how motor skills are controlled by environmental and individual factors
- Understanding how learning and motor skills develop and change throughout life.
Motor Behavior Components
- Motor Control: Focuses on the mechanisms underlying posture and movement.
- Motor Learning: Focuses on the effects of practice on motor skills
- Motor Development: Focuses on changes in motor behavior across the lifespan.
Motor Control Details
- Explores how the brain communicates with the body.
- Investigates the control of motor skills and the mechanisms in response selection and execution.
- Examines the influence of environmental and individual factors on these mechanisms.
Motor Learning Details
- Studies how processes like feedback and practice enhance motor skill learning and performance.
- Investigates how mechanisms in response selection and response execution become more effective.
Motor Development Details
- Focuses on changes in human motor behavior across the lifespan and the factors influencing them.
Why Study Motor Behavior?
- Provides a better understanding of motor skills across the lifespan of those being worked with
- Applications guide in determining what, how, and how much to practice.
- Helps create better learning and practice environments.
