FINAL EXAM IN PED 109

is a multifaceted set of internal processes that effect relatively permanent change in human performance through practice, provided the change of motor skills cannot be attributed to a human’s maturation, temporary state, or instinct (Kluka, 1999).

• Motor Learning

• Motor Control

• Motor parts

• Motor skills

It means measuring the skill i.e. archery score, more accurately hitting a target. There should be a decrease in errors.

• Improvement

• Consistency

• Retention

• Transfer

are used following a delay in practice to determine if permanent learning has occurred.

• Improvement

• Consistency

• Retention

• Transfer

the individual is able to reliably produce the result

• Improvement

• Consistency

• Retention

• Transfer

The ability to perform a similar movement, within a different context in which it was initially learnt is tested (transfer) i.e. changing the amount of force or surface, location.

• Improvement

• Consistency

• Retention

• Transfer

1. John increased an amount of _________ and is related to improved capabilities; however, the process of optimal learning is not clear-cut so the amount, type, dose and frequency must be individualized depending on learning capabilities

• Instruction/focus

• Feedback

• Practice

• Modelling

The frequency of______________ provided by the clinician can be during, or after the task is completed

• Instruction/focus

• Feedback

• Practice

• Modelling

the process by which the action or motor skill is performed by another individual that is then reproduced by the patient

• Instruction/focus

• Feedback

• Practice

• Modelling

Using an external focus of attention allows the process of learning to happen more quickly, and can result in better performance by allowing the patient to develop their own strategies for movement

• Instruction/focus

• Feedback

• Practice

• Modelling

The main objective of motor learning is to make a permanent change in the neurological functions which happen in the _______

• Hands

• Heart

• Brain

• Eyes
