California State University, Northridge KIN 477 Developmental Question 1 Research participants are asked to throw darts to a target to measure accuracy. The participants throw from three distances ... : 5 feet, 10 feet, and 15 feet.The distance of the throw is an example of which type of constraint? a- Task b- Structural c- Environmental d- Functional Distance of the throw would be considered a rule of the game, rules fall under task constraints. Question 2 The observation that many children perform many of the same motor skills while demonstrating individual differences highlights which two concepts in motor development? a- motor development development versus motor learning b- universality vs variability c- functional versus structural constraints d- motor learning versus motor control Question 3 A research study that examines throwing performance (distance thrown) of children ages 5, 10, and 15 years of age by obtaining data in one day is an example of: a- cross-cultural b- longitudinal c- mixed-longitudinal d- cross-sectional Question 4 A ______________ is a group whose members share a common characteristic such as age or experience. a- class b- family c- Cohort d- team Question 5 Motor development looks at how movements change from birth until death a- True, Yes, development is a lifespan process. b- False Question 6 Individual differences reflect the variability of development. a- True b- False Question 7 An example of motor development research is: a- comparing various types of ground surfaces and their effects on the balance of college students. b- administering a reaction time test to 15-year olds and 25-year olds and comparing their test performances. c- comparing the body compositions of male and female distance runners during middle adulthood.
