Q

What is the problem with the developmental systems perspective model?

A

they do not look at the “exception to the rule” – these are just models, they are not hard wired facts

Q

STAGES:

  • prenatal
  • infancy
  • childhood
  • adolescence
  • adulthood
A
  • prenatal = conception to birth
  • infancy = birth to 2yr
  • childhood = 2-6yr (early) and 6-12yr (late)
  • adolescence = 12-18yrs
  • adulthood = 18yrs and older

PHASES: - reflexive/spontaneous movement - rudimentary - fundamental movement - sport skill - growth and refinement - peak performance - regression
- reflexive/spontaneous movement = 0-6 month - rudimentary = birth to 2 yrs - fundamental movement = 2-6 yrs - sport skill = 6-12yrs - growth and refinement = 12-18yrs - peak performance = approx 18-30 - regression = approx 30-70
26
4 reasons why we study motor development?
1. Need to be aware of what others can and cannot do 2. Understand normal vs abnormal 3. Improve health and optimize motor performance 4. Knowledge enhances understanding of ourselves
27
What are microgenetic research designs?
- Tracked over time but over a series of sessions from the time it begins until stabilizes as subjects master an expected or novel task (eg. reflexes)
28
What is a sequential research design?
Allows researchers to study several different-aged samples over a period of years - different ages by compared at the same chronological ages
29
Research in motor development has a goal of explaining ______. It seeks to identify what two processes?
change; perception-action and brain-body
30
Biggest problem with longitudinal studies?
dropout
31
___ ____ studies give you a snapshot in time, while _____ allows you to track change
cross sectional; longitudinal
32
What is the problem with cross-sectional research?
you can not compare because the subjects are different ages - differences in measuring changes
33
"tracks change from the time it begins until it stabilizes, as subjects master a novel or an everyday task"
microgenetic research
34
"follows a group of subjects born in different years over time"
sequential research designs
35
What are the 4 theoretical views?
1. Contributing 2. Environmental systems 3. Biological systems 4. Environmental/biological
36
"development is tied predominantly to biological maturation"
Maturation view - Contributing View
37
"learning comes from observation of others and the environment"
Learning-behavioural view - Contributing View
38
"Children are not passive learners; they seek experiences. In the process of developing the cognitive domain, play is important"
Cognitive-developmental view - Contributing View
39
"Individual development may be modified by 5 distinct ecological systems"
Bronfenbrenner's bioecological systems theory - Environmental Systems
40
"individuals can directly perceive info in the environ. and act with a reasonable response - the environ. provides affordances"
Gibson's ecological perspective - Environmental Systems
41
"development is described in the context of a computer that has hardware and software, which operate in the form of input, central processing (planning), and output (motor response)"
Information-processing view - Biological Systems
42
"the question of how the brain controls muscle and joint movements is addressed - control is executed by collections of muscles and joint variables that act as basic units of movement (synergies)"
Coordinative structures - Biological Systems
43
"the emergence (unfolding) of movement patters as a dynamic and self-organizing process is described"
Dynamic systems theory - Biological Systems
44
"wiring and control of motor control from the brain to the muscle (motor) unit are explained"
Neuronal group selection theory - Biological Systems
45
"this applied model describes three analytical features (constraints) to motor performance: the performer, the environment, and the task"
Constraints model - Applied (environment/biology)
46
Maturation View (Gesell) is: ___ tied to ____
behaviour; maturation
47
"1930-40s. Basically it’s the result of inherited factors and required little stimulation (born a pro), emergence of patterns of development of organize systems, physical structures, and motor capabilities under genetic forces" What view?
Maturation View
48
Learning-Behavioural View (Bandura): ____ Learning ("modeling") and _____ learning theory
observational; social
49
"cognitively represent the behaviour of others and then are likely to adopt this behaviour ourselves. A boy may adopt the competitive manner of this father and display such behaviour when observed with the boys peers"
social learning theory (learning behavioural view)
50
Cognitive-Developmental View (Piaget): ____ experience and importance of ____
contextual; play
51
"solves problems through interactions with environment, child seeks out experiences, through play we can test : physical, cognitive, social behaviours and once practiced/tested can be part of memory"
cognitive developmental view
52
The two prominent theories that are consistent with a developmental systems perspective are?
1. Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems theory | 2. Gibson's Ecological Perspective
53
What 6 parts does Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems theory include?
1. Individual 2. Microsystem (setting in which individual lives) 3. Mesosystem (interactions in micro) 4. Exosystem (not active member) 5. Macrosystem (attitudes and ideologies of culture) 6. Chronosystem (sociohistorical)
54
In gibson's ecological perspective, we act on _____
affordances
55
"Similar to developmental systems but added TASK constraints…An approach to observing and studying motor behaviour. Incorporates developmental system of task and environment; but also includes the individual. e.g. walking, and age….steps, hills, unstable objects"
Newell's Constraints Model
56
A ____ can facilitate or restrict development
constraint
57
New motor behaviours emerge as a result of changes in _____, ____, or _____
individual (eg. height), task (eg. goal, rules, equipment), or environment (eg. surface)
58
