KP161 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Dance Move, Gross Motor Skill
Document Summary
Axial muscles are first developed and as you get older you refine the muscles closest to our fingertips. Children also tend to achieve gross motor skill proficiency first. (e. g. a golfer begins his movement by winding up and ends it by hitting the ball) (e. g. figure skating which requires a bunch of sequential movements to make up a program) Type of action needed is known ahead of time. Type of action is unknown until just before needed. Have to match actions with those of a teammate, opponent or other variables. Driving in an open road (pretty predictable environment, skill required is just between you and the road. Driving on a busy highway (unpredictable road, skill required is very open: ?multidimensional classification system. Specific movement characteristics necessary to perform a skill successfully. Height of the dart board (regulatory condition) Distance from the d art board (regulatory) The lower the multidimensional score, the less skill and movement required.
