Motor Development | Study of changes in human movement behavior over the lifespan, the processes that underlie these changes, and the factors that affect them. |
Locomotion | Moving from one place to another place |
Manipulation | object control skills |
Gross motor skills | using large muscles to create big movements |
Fine motor skills | using small muscles (in the hand) to manipulate and object |
Orientation | being able to orient yourself with space (you need posture control/balance) |
3 types of movement behavior | Locomotion, manipulation, and orientation |
3 parts of motor development | 1. Change in human movement behavior over lifespan 2. processes that underlie changes 3.. Factors that affect changes |
typical pattern of development | Norms (infants begin to walk around 9-16 months, typical milestones) |
Skillfull | Be proficient and accurate 1. Maximum constraints of success (accuracy) 2. Efficiency 3. Adaptability - when the environment changes the less skilled person will have a harder time adjusting than a very skilled person |
Construct | Things you can't directly observe |
Experimental |
