To complete this assignment, choose only Prompt A or Prompt B not both. A narrowly defined focus is required within the framework described by the prompts below.
Prompt A – Gentile’s Taxonomy
So far in our discussions in lecture and lab we focused on classifying motor skills by analyzing the nature of the environment and movement of the body. Use this essay to more deeply and specifically understand motor learning and control in relation to Gentile’s (1972, 1975, 2000) ideas, i.e., to explain how performers act in interaction with their environment (and all of the specificity we discussed in lecture about Gentile’s taxonomy regarding pacing of skill, moving objects, and anticipation timing). Your response may focus on any of the specific postulates or ideas related to the relative predictability or unpredictability of the environment, relative stability or change of the body, or body orientation in relation to the environment over a series of trials. Some very interesting ideas have recently been published on movement patterns and variability in response to complex and dynamic environments. These ideas have many implications across the professions.
Prompt B – Perception
For this essay topic define the role of perception in motor performance and motor learning, and then by using the support of the literature narrowly define a topic on the importance of perception and decision making in processing of information. For example you may chose to discuss how experts automate their operations to facilitate perception of information or how they elaborate on information to strengthen their memories; in addition, you may focus on how experts differ from novices in their perception or decision making speed. You may also choose to discuss the speed of reaction time in relation to the type of paradigm implemented and how this manipulation affects perception.
Undergraduate Motor Learning
The outcomes of the assignment are for students to
obtain a critical understanding and the skills to apply theoretical and scientific knowledge from motor learning for personal fitness, healthy lifestyles, sport, teaching, and/or therapeutic rehabilitation.
learn to effectively communicate, in written and verbal form, the essential theories, scientific application, and ethical considerations related to motor learning.
