TEXES PHYSICAL EDUCATION EC-12 158
Stages of Motor Learning
Stage 1 - Answer -Children progress from simple reflexes to basic movements such as
sitting, crawling, creeping, standing, and walking.
Stages of Motor Learning
Stage 2 - Answer -Children learn more complex motor patterns including running,
climbing, jumping, balancing, catching, and throwing.
Stages of Motor Learning
Stage 3 - Answer -During late childhood, children learn more specific movement skills.
In addition, the basic motor patterns learned in Stage 2 become more fluid and
automatic.
Stages of Motor Learning
Stage 4 - Answer -During adolescence, children continue to develop general and
specific motor skills and master specialized movements. At this point, factors including
practice, motivation, and talent begin to affect the level of further development.
Practice - Answer -Frequent, structured practice of motor skills enhances skill
development in children.
Positive Feedback - Answer -When a skill is learned it goes into short term memory
and receives positive feedback. The skill may eventually go into their long-term
memory, creating memory that is more permanent. Encourage the performer and helps
in making the performer remember every aspect of the performance.
Intrinsic Feedback - Answer -Information received by the athlete as a direct result of
producing a movement through the kinesthetic senses- e.g. feeling from muscles, joints,
and balance.
Extrinsic Feedback - Answer -Information not inherent in the movement itself but which
improves intrinsic feedback (this is also known as augmented feedback).
_____ feedback enables the athlete to establish a kinesthetic reference for the correct
movement. - Answer -Extrinsic
Self-Assessment - Answer -Powerful tool in motor skill development. Requires students
to assess their own skills and abilities encourages students to reflect upon their current
skill level and take control of the development process.
Many physical education instructors believe that _____ learning is the most effective
method of learning motor skills. - Answer -Observational Learning
, _____ observation of proper skill performance by an instructor or peer is generally more
effective in promoting skill development than verbal instructions. - Answer -Visual
Perceptual- motor development - Answer -One's ability to receive, interpret, and
respond successfully to sensory signals coming from the environment.
Economic - Answer -The economic situation of students can affect their motor
development and fitness because lack of resources and detract from the ability of
parents to provide access to extra-curricular activities that promote development, proper
fitness training equipment, and even adequate nutrition.
Familial - Answer -Factors that can influence motor development and fitness relate to
the student's home climate concerning physical activity. A student's own feelings toward
physical activity often reflect the degree to which caregivers and role models are
athletically inclined and have a positive attitude towards physical activity. The parent
doesn't have to be athletically inclined , so much as it is important for them to encourage
their child to explore fitness activities that could suit them.
Environmental and Health - Answer -Genetic make-up (i.e. gender, age, ethnicity) has
a big influence on growth and development. Various physical and environmental factors
directly affect one's personal health and fitness. Poor habits, living conditions, disease
or disability can affect a person in a negative manner.
What are the 4 different types of play in childhood link motor development with the other
aspects of development? - Answer -Cognitive, social, physical, and emotional play.
They all help in the overall development of a child.
The manner in which children
hop, jump, skip, run, climb, and play.... - Answer -greatly facilitates their motor and
physical development and helps to build other aspects of their personality.
An instructor should have the ability to identify performance errors by observing a
student's ______ principles of motion during the performance of a skill. - Answer -
Mechanical
Process Assessment - Answer -Is a subjective, observational approach to identifying
errors in the form, style, or mechanics of a skill.
Product Assessment - Answer -Quantitative measures of a movent's end result, to
evaluate objectively fundamental skills. How far, how fast, how high, or how many are
the quantitative measures of product assessments.
Criterion-referenced test (superior to a standardized test)
Standardized norm-referenced test - Answer -Can provide valid and reliable data for
objectively measuring fundamental skills.
