|
|
development
|
changes we experience as we pass through life
-includes maturation & growth |
|
|
human motor development
|
study of changes in human motor behavior, the processes that underlie them, and the factos affecting them
|
|
|
age appropriateness
|
predictable sequences of growth and development through which most children pass
|
|
|
individual appropriateness
|
refers to uniqueness of each child
|
|
|
qualitative
|
"not just more or something"
-technique changes to become more efficient |
|
|
sequential
|
certain motor patterns precede others and are orderly in appearance
|
|
|
cumulative
|
current behaviors are additive, built on previous ones
|
|
|
directional
|
development has an ultimate goal
|
|
|
multifactorial
|
no one factor directs such change
|
|
|
individual
|
rate of change varies for all people
|
|
|
maturation
|
qualitative functional changes that occur with age
-organizational changes in function of tissues & organs |
|
|
growth
|
qnatitative structural changes that occur with age

development from head to feet
|
|
|
proximodistal
|
from points close to the body's center to points farthest from body's center
|
|
|
differentiation
|
progression from gross, immature movements, to precise, well-controlled, intentional movement
|
|
|
integration
|
muscle systems become more capable of functioning together
|
|
|
gross movements
|
controlled by large muscles or muscle groups
|
|
|
fine movements
|
governed by small muscles or muscle groups
|
|
|
product approach
|
task-oriented, end result is the focus
|
|
|
process approach
|
emphasizes the movement itself
|
|
|
organogenesis
|
formation of vital organs
|
|
|
precursor period of motor development
|
1787-1928
descriptive observation established as method for studying human development |
|
|
maturational period of motor development
|
1928-1946
biological processes were main influence in shaping human development |
|
|
normatime/descriptive period of motor development
|
1946-1970
children's movement, standardized tests for evaluating, perceptual-motor theory |
|
|
process-oriented period of motor development
|
1970-present
studying processes underlying motor development |
|
|
information-processing theory
|
thinking of the brain like a computer

dynamical systems perspective
|
interacting subsystems contribute to movement
|
|
|
synergetics
|
study of physical, chemical, and biological systems
|
|
|
order parametes
|
small number of carefully selected variables chosen with the intention of narrowing the study of the more global system
|
|
|
attractor
|
preferred of stable behavioral state- more easily achievable because it requires less energy
|
|
|
control parameter
|
factor primarily responsible for system change
|
|
|
kinematics
|
"the science of mechanics... that deals solely with describing the nature of motion."
|
|
|
lifespan perspective
|
because height growth ceases, doesn't mean behavior or human development stops changing
-progressive and regressive |
|
|
cross-sectional design
|
subjects from various treatment/age groups measure once and at the same time
|
|
|
longitudinal design
|
one group of subjects is observed repeatedly and at different ages and different times of measurement
|
|
