Mental Retardation
Intellectual disability. A disability characterized by significant limitations both in intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior as expressed in conceptual, social, and practical adaptive skills.
26
What is down syndrome?
A genetic disorder that can lead to developmental delays, reduced muscle tone, increased join flexibility, reduced muscle strength, and heart and respiratory problems.

40
What is postural sway?
A nearly imperceptible back-and-forth motion designed to assist the body in maintaining an upright or standing position

If it measures what it claims to measure
44
What makes a test reliable?

How to reduce test anxiety
comfortable test environment, meet physical needs, meet psychological needs
46
What are the measures of central tendency?
Mean, median, and mode.
47
Measures of variability
Describe the spread of scores, standard deviation. Describes the degree to which the scores vary about the mean of the distribution.
48
What do normal or skewed distributions show?
Whether or not a certain score is above or below the average, and where they rank in standard deviations away from the average.
49
What are norm-referenced assessment instruments?
Quantitative evaluations designed to compare a person's skills and abilities with those of others from similar age, gender, and socioeconomic groups. Sometimes called psychometric
50
What is criterion-referenced assessment instructions?
Evaluates the "quality" of a person's performance. Compares people to themselves over time, along a continuum through predictable sequence of milestones. (good form)
51
What is a Product-oriented assessment?
In this, the examiner is more interested in performance outcomes than the technique used to perform the task (how far ball is thrown)
52
What is a Process-oriented assessment?
Identifies the developmental characteristics of body parts within a task (form)
53
FITNESSGRAM
Become the most widely used instrument for the assessment of health-related physical fitness for youth and young adults (5-25). Currently used at more than 6,000 schools around country. Criterion-referenced instrument assesses aerobic capacity, body composition, muscular strength and endurance, and flexibility.
54
the brockport physical fitness test
Designed to assess the health-related fitness of youths 10-17 years old who have various disabilities. Criterion-referenced, scores are compared with carefully developed standards rather than national averages. Provides criteria for disabilities such as: visual impairments, spinal cord injuries, cerebral palsy, and congenital anomalies or amputations.
55

The program is designed for Americans ages 6 and up, allows participants to receive one of four rewards (top is 85% or above). Based on normative data
56
What is the most common injury in soccer?
Contusions/skin abrasions (in thigh/leg)
57
What are some ways to reduce competitive stress in sport?
Change something about the sport so that success will occur more frequently than failure, skill training, place winning or losing the contest into perspective ( should not have too much emphasis on winning), and helping each child set realistic goals.
58
Female coaches vs male coaches
9 out of 10 youth sport coaches are men, and only half of female teams are coached by women.
59
Factors that contribute to the imbalance of male-female coaching
societal factors such as one-parent families, usually a mother (not enough time to coach)
60
