HP427/313 Module 1 UPDATED ACTUAL Questions And Correct Answers
Terms in this set (48)
What is motor development? A sequential, continuous, age-related, holistic process where movement behavior
changes across the lifespan
what happens to motor abilities as we age? Motor abilities increase to a peak and then gradually regress later in life
what does "sequential" mean in motor development? Development occurs in a predictable, common, stereotypical order where on
step leads to the next
why is motor development considered sequential? individuals of the same species show similar changes in a predictable order
what does "continuous" mean in motor development? motor development is a never-ending, cumulative process of change
what changes continuously in motor development? an individual's functional capacity to move
what does age-related mean in motor development? development is partially dependent on age, but age alone does not predict
development
do all individuals develop at the same rate? no, individuals advance in development at different rates even if they are the same
age
what does "holistic" mean in motor development? many interacting factors influence how and when individuals develop movement
skills
what environmental factors influence motor opportunities like tummy time, access to facilities (pools), and physically active
development? parents
how do genetics influence motor development? genetics interact with environmental factors to shape development
key idea of holistic motor development? everything matters, everything interacts, and development continues across the
lifespan
why do we study past movement behavior? to understand how development has changed over time
why predict future movement behavior? to adapt goals and ensure developmentally appropriate instruction
what is growth? a change in physical size such as height or weight
what is maturation? physiological and qualitative changes toward full biological maturity
what is universality in motor development? shared, predictable movement changes that occur unless there is a
developmental issue
examples of universal motor skills lifting head, walking, crawling
