Title: MOTOR BEHAVIOR


1
CHAPTER 5
  • MOTOR BEHAVIOR

2
MOTOR BEHAVIOR
  • An Umbrella Term used to cover areas of
  • MOTOR CONTROL
  • MOTOR LEARNING
  • MOTOR DEVELOPMENT

3
Continued
  • MOTOR BEHAVIOR is concerned
  • With the LEARNING OR ACQUISTION of skills
    across the lifespan.

4
GOALS OF MOTOR BEHAVIOR
  • To understand how motor skills are learned
  • To understand how motor skills are controlled
  • To understand how learning and control of motor
    patterns change across the lifespan.

5
Motor Learning
  • Study of the acquisition of motor skills as a
    result of practice and experience.
  • Understanding the influence of feedback,
    practice and individual differences, especially
    how they relate to retention and transfer of
    motor skill. Thomas and Thomas

6
MOTOR CONTROL
  • Study of the neurophysiological and behavioral
    processes affecting the control of skilled
    movements.
  • How the muscles and joints are coordinated
    during movement, how a sequence of movements are
    controlled, and how to use environmental
    information to plan and adjust movements. Thomas
    and Thomas

7
Historical Development-Motor Learning/Control
  • Early Period 1880-1940
  • The discovery that the brain produces electrical
    activity was of interest. Thus stimulating
    interest in the relationship between brain
    electrical activity and movement.

8
Historical Development-Motor Learning/Control
  • Middle Period 1940-1970
  • In the late 1940s, Craik advanced ideas of the
    similarities between the brain and the computer.
  • In the 1960s, Franklin Henry-the Father of Motor
    Behavior- looked at the role of cognitive
    activity in motor learning.

9
Historical Development-Motor Learning/Control
  • Present Period-1970-present
  • Marked the emergence of motor learning and motor
    control within physical education programs.
  • Veered from trying to use the theories from
    psychology to explain motor skill to the
    development of their own theories.

10
Researchers in Motor Learning/Control
  • May address these questions
  • How does type and frequency of feedback impact
    skill acquisition?
  • How does practice structure influence the
    retention of skills?
  • How does the aging process affect motor control?

11
POPULAR MOTOR LEARNING/CONTROL MODEL
  • INFORMATION-PROCESSING MODEL
  • Input
  • Decision Making
  • Output
  • Feedback

12
Stages of Learning
  • Cognitive Stage
  • Associative Stage
  • Autonomous Stage

13
Forces Influencing Learning
  • Readiness
  • Physiological
  • Psychological

14
Forces Influencing Learning
  • Motivation
  • Reinforcement
  • Individual Differences

15
MOTOR DEVELOPMENT
  • The study of the origins of and changes in
    movement behavior throughout the lifespan.
  • Encompasses the study of biology and environment
    on motor behavior

16
MOTOR DEVELOPMENT HISTORY
  • Roots in developmental psychology.
  • Maturational Period-1928-1946-Studies done in
    classifying development movement patterns

17
MOTOR DEVELOPMENT-HISTORY
  • Normative/Descriptive Period 1946-1970s
  • Focused on describing the motor performance of
    children. Interest in childrens acquisition of
    skills and how growth and maturation affect
    performance.
  • Focused on Perceptual-Motor development.

18
MOTOR DEVELOPMENT-HISTORY
  • Process-Oriented Period-1980s-present
  • Focus on cognitive factors influence childrens
    motor skill acquisition.

19
Researchers in Motor Development ask
  • At what age can children safely engage in
    resistance training?
  • How does socioeconomic status affect the
    development of motor skills?
  • How does early sensory stimulation affect the
    development of motor skills.
