1 Study Notes for Module 1 A. Glossary of key terms and concepts In the table below, list at least 10 key words or concepts along with a concise and accurate definition. Try not to “cut and paste” definitions. 1. Learning: relatively permanent change in person’s performance while executing a motor skill. 2. Motor Learning: processes involved in acquiring and refining motor skills 3. Motor Control: Focuses on the neural, physical and behavioral aspects of human movement. 4. Voluntary Movement: Movements that are performed intentionally or at will. 5. Serial skills: Skills that are a combination of a series of discrete skills 6. Open and Closed skills: skills performed in an unpredictable environment; skills performed in a predictable environment 7. Regulatory Conditions: conditions or factors that specify the necessary movement characteristics to perform a skill 8. Action requirements: Requirements in terms of body movements and object manipulation while performing a skill 9. Initial Hypothesis: only one motor ability is required for all performances 10. Specificity Hypothesis: different motor abilities are required to perform different skills. 11. Task analysis: this analysis helps in determining the fundamental abilities that are important for successfully performing a skill. 12. Motor abilities: traits or genetic traits that are a pre-requisite for performing a skill.

2 B. Key concepts Describe at least one key concept discussed in the module. Use a chart, table, figure, or skeleton outline that helps to explain or summarize and organize a large amount of information from the chapter readings and lecture. You are being marked on content and usefulness of the work as a study aid and not the quality of the presentation. Below is a mind-map / flow chart for the key concept of Motor Abilities . This mind map / flowchart describes the development of the concept of motor abilities and how it has led to the creation of taxonomy. Motor Abilities are genetic traits that are a prerequisite for skilled performance. The development of these hypothesis, led to the creation of a taxonomy by Fleishman, whose purpose was to classify skills. In this taxonomy Fleishman came up with 2 categories: 1. Perceptual Motor Abilities 2. Physical Proficiency Abilities. Specificity Hypothesis: Individuals inherit a large number of motor abilities, and those abilities are independent of one another. Challenging the existence of a general motor ability led to: Initial Hypothesis : Only one motor ability is required for all performances.
