NIFA MEGA EXAM TEST BANK ACTUAL QUESTIONS
WITH VERIFIED SOLUTIONS/A+ GRADE
Piaget - ANSWER: differentiate reaching and grasping skills into instrumental actions
to attain goals. (infants- move cloth to move object. older babies use sticks. toddlers
use canes/tools to rake in.)
Kinethesis - ANSWER: Sense of the body's parts' positions and movements. Muscles,
tendons, joints.
Equilibrium - ANSWER: sense of balance. where body is in space.
vestibular system in ear provides. semicircular canal in ear with fluid. when the fluid
moves, sends message to the brain.
Best way to teach an athletic skill - ANSWER: As a whole (inter-limb coordination)
task-reciprocal method - ANSWER: station work
command/direct method - ANSWER: teacher centered instruction and
demonstration, then student demonstration
contingency/contract approach - ANSWER: reward
Factors that influence the development of children's motor skills - ANSWER: muscle
tone, (hypotonia-low tone, hypertonia-high tone)
strength
endurance
motor planning
sensory integration
priniples of practice, self-assessment, and observational learning - ANSWER:
structured, frequent practice. self assessment important for learning how to reflect,
increase motivation, and assume control
Principle of feedback - ANSWER: motivation and interest increased by positive
feedback, student recognition and correction of errors enhanced by negative
feedback
short term stores new skills --> long term memory
Spatial awareness - ANSWER: consciousness of and decisions about changes in
objects' positions within 3D space
sequence of development: 1. recognizing object locations in space relative to one's
own body 2. locating multiple objects in space relative to each other, independently
of one's body.
(play simon says)
, effort awareness - ANSWER: an individual's knowledge of time, force, and balance
and how these are related to physical movements and athletic activities
torque - ANSWER: rotational version of force
F upside down T d
longer with same force, more torque
Biomechanical summation of forces - ANSWER: -to attain maximal force with any
movement that uses multiple muscles in a amanner to enables generating the
maximum force possible
-total amount of force=sum of the total individual muscles when these are added
together
-larger, stronger muscles initiate power, smaller muscles for coordination and finer
movements
-heaviest body parts move slower, smallest fastest
-to attain force, use as may body parts and possible
-force is sequential
center of gravity - ANSWER: point at which a single force, of magnitude mg, (weight
of system or body) would have to be applied to a rigid system or body in order to
achieve an exact balance of the rotational and translational effects of the
gravitational forces that act on the parts of the system or body
force-motion - ANSWER: when we produce or change movement, unbalanced forces
act upon our bodies or objects we manipulate
force-time - ANSWER: substantial changes in motion are produced over time, not
immediately.
intertia - ANSWER: property all objects have of resting changes in states of motion
range of motion - ANSWER: over all extent of motion a person uses in a movement,
described through angular or linear movement of the body parts.
balance - ANSWER: an individual's capacity for controlling his or her body position in
relation to a base of support.
coordination continuum - ANSWER: the goal or purpose of a movement determines
the most effective timing of segmental movement or muscle actions.
segmental interaction - ANSWER: forces operating in a system of rigid, lined bodies
are transferable through joints and links.
Non-locomotor - ANSWER: do not involve moving among locations
weights, squeezing balls, balancing, wisting, turning, swinging
