Document Summary
September 12th motor performance and learning continued. What is motor performance: the observable attempt of an individual to produce a voluntary actions, motor control. What influences motor performance: possibly influenced by transient factors. What are the 4 transient factors that can affect motor performance: motivation, arousal, fatigue, physical conditions. What is motor learning: a relatively permanent change in behavior as a function of practice or experience. What causes motor learning: there are changes in the internal process of the body, you can not directly see the neural network being formed, affect the capability for producing motor skills. Inferred form observation: stable levels of performance, stages of learning. How do we recognize the stages: performance characteristics usually match learning levels. Why is it important to be able to recognize these stages: evaluation and goal setting, appropriate assistance, charting progress. What are the 3 things practitioners must consider when assessing skill performance: who, what, where.
