1. Define movement: essential component of our ability to walk, run, play, communicate, seek out, earn a living, and survive
2. Name the 4 Common Motor Development Theories (discussed in class): 1.
Reflex Theory
2. Hierarchal/Neuromaturational Theory
3. Motor Program Theory
4. Dynamic Systems Theory
3. Which motor development theory is the most widely acceptable at the
moment?: -dynamic systems theory
4. Which motor development theory is characterized by: reflexes as the
building blocks for more complex movement patterns and was created by
Sherrington?: Reflex theory
-1900's
-disproved
5. Which motor development theory is characterized by: clear separation
between low level and high level control, concept that motor development
occurs in stages, CNS predominant, and concept that functional behaviors
appear as the nervous system matures?: Hierarchal/Neuromaturational Theory
1920's-1980s
6. Which motor development theory is characterized by: Central Pattern
Generators, inclusion of the CNS as a generator of movement rather than
JUST a reactive system (still maintains CNS as reactive though)?: Motor
program theory
-1980's
7. Which motor development theory is characterized by: concept of distribution of movement throughout many interactive systems; mechanical system
consisting of mass, gravity, and forces creating movement; role of CNS to
provide organization and structure through environment, practice, strength,
and biomehcanics: Dynamic Systems Theory
1980s
8. Which motor development theory explains the CNS's role as providing
organization and structure with various systems?: -Dynamic Systems
9. Which motor development theory relies on the environment, practice,
strength and biomechanics as a means to provide input that fosters the
process of motor development?: dynamic systems
